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.

DOI: 10.1177/13694332221130795
Abstract: Encasing glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) beam with reinforced concrete (RC) improves stability, prevents buckling of the web, and enhances the fire resistance efficiency. This paper provides experimental and numerical investigations on the flexural performance… read more here.
