DOI: 10.1016/j.compstruct.2020.112745
Abstract: Abstract The paper describes a series of material/structural property tests on pultruded GFRP (glass fibre reinforced polymer) circular cross-section tubes used in guardrails. The tests enabled the elastic flexural and shear moduli of the tubes… read more here.
