Pipe Stiffness Prediction of Buried Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Plastic (GFRP) and Polymer Mortar Pipe

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, glass fiber reinforced polymer plastic (GFRP) pipes are widely used in the water-supply system because of their advantages such as light-weight, corrosion resistance, etc. In previous study, we present the equation to predict stiffness factor (EI) of GFRP pipe with two tape-winding FRP layers and polymer mortar layer in between two FRP layers. As a result, it was able to predict in the range of -3% to +7%. In addition to previous study, we attempted to predict stiffness factor (EI) of GFRP pipe by the finite element method (MIDAS Civil 2016). From the study it was found that the finite element method can be used to predict the pipe stiffness of GFRP pipe.
