- Additional information
- Major industrial pultruders provide the same minimum strengths/stiffnesses for their GFRP profiles, irrespective of their shape/size, which are then used for outdated permissible stress design of structures. However, UK, EU and US design guides use modern limit state design, based on characteristic ultimate strengths/stiffnesses, values of which depend on profile shape/size etc. Here, for the first time, limit state design strengths/stiffnesses, derived from characteristic values in accordance with the latter guides, are compared with manufacturers permissible stress design values. This information enables designers to decide which design philosophy to follow and to appreciate its impact (funded by EPSRC Grant GR/R28386).
