| Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer, GFRP provides unique mechanical properties such as high strength, high corrosion resistance, light weight and so on. However, there is a variation in the material properties of GFRP. It is important to examine the influence of these variations on member performance. For GFRP formed into channel cross section by hand lay-up molding method, this study presents results of tensile, compressive and bending tests, and also modal properties. Monte Carlo simulation is performed using the observed data to evaluate tensile, compressive, bending and modal properties statistically in whole cross sections of the member. |
