This paperpresents the use of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composite material to produce a frame; the behaviors of the GFRP frames were analyzed by using pushover test and a numerical analysis software. Double-web FRP I-beams are used for the beams and columns of the frame, and joints made from two GFRP plates cut to the desired shape adhesively bonded together and wrapped with carbon fiber sheet. Three types of frame specimens were involved: an un-braced frame, a compression-braced frame and a tension-braced frame. The joints were bonded to the frame components using epoxy resin (chemical bond) or byusing not only resin coating but also adding GFRP bolts (hybrid bond)in the beam-column joint. The pushover testwasused to investigate the mechanical behaviors and failure modes of the GFRP frames. The experimental results showed that the mechanical behavior of the hybrid bond joint is better than the chemically bonded joint; and that tension bracing has a better performance. The analysis software SAP2000 was used for the pushoveranalysis of the GFRP frames, and it was shown that the ultimate strength and force-displacement relationships of the analytical results were similar to that of the experimental ones. |
