EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON CREEP PROPERTIES FOR CONNECTION PART OF FRP AND FRP MEMBER

Abstract

 It is known that FRP will cause a creep by a sustained load. For this reason, it is important to consider the creep for the design of the structure about the connection part of the FRP and FRP member. Here, in the connection part of the FRP, the friction grip and the bearing connection were selected. For glass fiber laminated material and carbon fiber and glass fiber compound laminated material, the creep data about the bolt axial tension and the creep data based on bearing force were obtained. Furthermore, for glass fiber laminated material, the creep limit data based on bearing force and the bending creep data of FRP member were obtained.
