First Evaluations on Structural Response of FRP Pultruded Applications Subjected to Seismic Actions

Article Preview

Abstract:

The present work proposes and analyses the solution for seismic behaviour of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers) applications to evaluate the performances respect to dynamic actions considering the global effect on historical structures. The good strength-self-weight relationship defines the GFRP pultruded profile as an efficacious and innovative solution for structural rehabilitation of historical buildings. The composite material with polymeric matrix, FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymers), is widely used in civil engineering as sheets, bars and strips. Recently a new technology was adopted to improve the structural response with limited increment of dead load with reversible and independent solution.
