Fiber Reinforced Polimer To Roof Connection

Several connection configurations were developedand tested at the component level under uplift loading.

Fiber reinforced polimer to roof connection.

In construction it has primarily been used as a way to strengthen or repair existing structures and in some more recent applications in tension cables. The performance characteristics of frp strengthening have become increasingly popular in construction and retrofit applications specifically in aging damaged or. A significant proportion of damage to buildings in hurricanes occurs owing to weak roof to wall connections. Studywas to develop an innovative efficient and nonintrusiveroof to wall connection for wood frame structures by using high performance fiber reinforced polymer frp composites.

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. Fibre reinforced plastic frp also called fiber reinforced polymer or fiber reinforced plastic is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres the fibres are usually glass in fibreglass carbon in carbon fiber reinforced polymer aramid or basalt rarely other fibres such as paper wood or asbestos have been used. The polymer is usually an epoxy vinyl ester.
