As civil engineers seek to improve buildings and bridges, they are turning to composite materials for some structural components. Thus the long-term life of these materials in damp highly acidic...
Structural behavior of multifunctional GFRP joints for concrete structures (2009)
A multifunctional all-FRP joint has been developed for the transfer of bending moments and shear forces in thermal insulation sections of concrete slab structures used in building construction....

A durability study was performed on a pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) compression element of a hybrid GFRP/steel joint for concrete structures. GFRP elements were immersed in alkaline...
Multifunctional all-GFRP joint for concrete slab structures (2007)
An existing hybrid-GFRP/steel joint for load transfer and thermal insulation in concrete slab structures was developed into an all-GFRP joint. The new joint consists of a pultruded GFRP tensile/shear...
Multifunctional hybrid GFRP/steel joint for concrete slab structures (2006)
A multifunctional hybrid glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)/steel joint has been developed for the transfer of compression and shear forces in thermal insulation sections of concrete slab...
