Project Background:
Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, owing to their advantages of lightweight, high strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios, excellent corrosion resistance and superior fatigue performance, have shown great potential in the field of civil engineering worldwide. Nonetheless, due to low modulus of elasticity, lack of robust connection method, significant brittle sudden failure mode, poor fire resistance, and uncertainty in creep performance, FRPs have not been universally-accepted in practice. This is manifested by the facts that the civil engineers tending to adopt FRPs do not have full confidence in the material, and those engineers who have the confidence in material do not have sufficient skills of designing with FRPs.
Aims & Goals:
1. To propose 1 or 2 FRP joint nodes with pultrusion process;
2. To develop fiber composite rebar with good ultimate tensile strain and post yield strain;
3. To develop composite profiles with high in-plane shear strength and equivalent tensile strength;
4. To enhance the overall performance of composite structural parts with high efficiency of material strength and high ductility factor at the ultimate state;
5. To reach fire protection grade B1 and fire resistance limit of the horizontal load-carrying parts ≥1 h;
6. To develop design methods for highly-ductile composite structure parts.
Outcomes:
1. Deveoled the enhance technology of modulus of elasticity of high-performance glass and carbon fibers in pultruded FRP composites, GFRP and CFRP can reach 66 GPa and 167 GPa.
2. Deveoled an elastic-plastic mid-span deviators for prestressing CFRP strengthening, avoided premature brittle failure of the CFRP plate.
3. A new test method standard, entitled 'Tensile Properties of Pultruded Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites - Using A Dual-Tapered Specimen', was proposed to measure the tensile properties of pultruded FRP composites having high-strength and large thickness.
