Identify the important properties and parameters that need to be considered in the design of connections for FRP materials/structures. Please share your view on this topic supported by appropriate literature.

Solution

Answer:- Important properties and parameters in the design of connections for FRP materials/structures:-

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are increasingly being used in strengthening existing structures.

The bonding technique for strengthening steel structures was found to be associated with the brittle failure of the adhesive. It is validated the use of bolted hybrid FRP (HFRP) in strengthening steel beams.

Wide spectrum of test parameters to compile a reliable database on the interfacial behavior of bolted FRP–steel connections.

Test parameters included the number of washers, clamping torque, diameter of hole, and spacing of bolts.

Snug-tight bolts to be installed in standard size holes with the use of two washers per bolt.

In it experimental measurements are utilized to develop a multi-linear load-slip model that can be integrated in finite-element models to facilitate the analysis of this particular type of connection.

FRP structures are very useful . They are used in many structure. FRP structures have more strength than simple structure. FRP structure are used in making stadium. Connection of FRP structure should be very strong.
