European Assessment for GFRP-Sandwich Connectors
For more than 25 years sandwich connectors made from GFRP are known in different markets. In different parts of the world, national committees or authorities have defined different testing programs to assess the performance of such elements. Now in Europe an internationally counselled assessment document (EAD) is available and the first producers have submitted their evaluation reports. In this paper, the background, as well as some results of this EAD, are presented and discussed.
The focus of this paper is on the evaluation of the thermal effects on the load-bearing capacity of sandwich connectors. In particular, the temperature effect causes cyclic shear and bending stress in the connector due to the temperature difference between the facing layer and the load-bearing layer. The effects of the cyclic temperature-induced stress are investigated by functional tests with a subsequent test of the residual load-bearing capacity.
In the context of this article experimental investigations for the evaluation of the temperature-induced cyclic shear and bending stress on the load-carrying capacity of sandwich connectors made of glass fibre reinforced polymer are presented and subsequently evaluated.
