This study investigated evaluating method of the member strength for channel members fabricated from glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) experimentally. The tensile and compressive tests were conducted on coupon specimens, plate element specimens and member specimens using two types of GFRP and two sizes of channel members in this experiments. As a result, the ratio of member strength to average strength of coupon test and plate element test was clarified. Additionally as for the tensile test, the relationship between the size of the specimen (thickness, width and sectional area) and the average strength was also clarified.
