Abstract:This paper aims to investigate the axial compression behaviour of perforated glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) circular tubes. A total of 12 GFRP medium-length tubes with and without circular holes were tested under axial compression. The influence of hole size and hole quantity on the failure mode and mechanical behaviour of perforated GFRP tubes were carefully evaluated. The overall buckling failure and material strength failure, mainly determined by the hole size, were observed in the axial compression … Show more
