Fiber Reinforced Polimer To Roof Connection

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer cfrp has been used in several capacities in the manufacturing of products such as high performance cars and airplanes as well as many other smaller products.

Fiber reinforced polimer to roof connection.

A significant proportion of damage to buildings in hurricanes occurs owing to weak roof to wall connections. Fiber reinforced polymer frp systems are simply defined as high strength and lightweight reinforcements created by combining carbon cfrp or e glass fibers with a polymer material. The performance characteristics of frp strengthening have become increasingly popular in construction and retrofit applications specifically in aging damaged or. The objective of this study was to develop an innovative efficient and nonintrusive roof to wall connection for wood frame structures by using high performance fiber reinforced polymer frp composites.

Several connection configurations were developedand tested at the component level under uplift loading. The polymer is usually an epoxy vinyl ester. Studywas to develop an innovative efficient and nonintrusiveroof to wall connection for wood frame structures by using high performance fiber reinforced polymer frp composites.
