“…438 With respect to repetitive loads, up to 10 million cycles within the overall life of a structure are to be considered. 439 Not only structural elements made of FRPs, but also connections [440][441][442][443] between them as well as large-scale experiments 444 have been studied to date by different researchers. Further development of theoretical models able to estimate the fatigue life of composites is needed in order to provide engineers with better design tools together with more efficient nondestructive test methods.…”

Currently, the application of pultruded profiles is increasing owing to their advantages, such as light weight, high strength, improved durability, corrosion resistance, ease of transportation, speed of assembly, and nonmagnetic/nonconductive characteristics. This review analyzes the main application fields of elements produced by pultrusion manufacturing processes: bridges and bridge decks, cooling towers, building elements and complete building systems, marine construction, transportation, and energy systems. Analysis of the scientific literature in relation to the mechanical behavior of pultruded elements is presented as well. Finally, this review outlines the future study possibilities, giving the researchers and practitioners the directions for deeper investigation of specific features and exploration of new ones concerning the mentioned aspects of pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer composites.

“…Operational damage induced by e.g., fatigue, impact loading or overloading, results in non-visible deterioration of the internal matrix of the FRP that can lead to delamination, matrix cracks or internal adhesive joints failure. VBM is a promising alternative for the time consuming and costly Non Destructive Testing methods currently available [49] and has been used for monitoring several FRP structures [20,50,51].…”

A Novel Z Profile of Pultruded Glass-Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Beams for Purlins

et al. 2022

Purlins made from galvanised steel in fertiliser warehouses have often been considered less efficient, necessitating a new purlin made using corrosion-resistant material to increase building efficiency. This study was an attempt to design a nine-metre purlin from glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite material for a new fertiliser warehouse in Bontang-East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The purlin design selected in this study was the Z profile of pultruded beams from GFRP composite material that met the criteria of an efficient purlin, such as corrosion resistance, compact stacking, and ability to withstand technical loads. In particular, the Z profile becomes compact when stacked, and the GFRP material used is corrosion-resistant yet affordable. The primary materials for GFRP composites consist of long yarn glass fibre bundles for reinforcement and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) for the matrix. Material strength modelling was based on analytical and finite element approaches. The analysis shows that the most considerable normal stress of “64.41 MPa” occurred at the two fixed end supports, while the most significant deflection of “45.9 mm” occurred at the mid-span of the purlin structure. The purlin structure was considered safe, as the strength and deflection were below the threshold. Thus, the Z profile of the pultruded purlin beams built using the GFRP composite material meets the technical criteria.
