Failure Modes For I-Section Gfrp Beams, Mamadou Konate, Zia Razzaq Jan 2015

Failure Modes For I-Section Gfrp Beams, Mamadou Konate, Zia Razzaq

Civil & Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper presents calculations for the failure modes for I-section Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) beams with single mid-span web brace. Theoretical predictions are made using ASCE-LFRD Pre-Standard for FRP structures. For the member length considered, it is found that for small and medium I-sections the failure mode is governed by lateral-torsional buckling and for bigger I-sections the failure mode is governed by material rupture. The outcome of the predicted lateral-torsional buckling mode is compared with that observed experimentally.
