A concise state-of-the-art survey of fiber-reinforced polymer (also known as fiber-reinforced
plastic) composites for construction applications in civil engineering is presented. The paper …

Thin-walled beams made of laminated composite materials are increasingly used in any
engineering branch where structural weight is one of the major aspects in the design …

Most practical analyses of laminated composite beams, particularly rectangular sections
used in civil structures, are based on first order shear deformation theories (FSDT), which …

A comprehensive approach for the analysis and design of pultruded FRP beams in bending
is presented. It is shown that the material architecture of pultruded FRP shapes can be …

Prior to the computer era, analytical methods in elasticity had already been developed and-
proved up to impressive levels. Relevant mathematical techniques were extensively …

This paper examines the static and vibration analysis of functionally graded sandwich thin-
walled microbeams using the modified couple stress theory. The material properties in both …

This paper presents the stability analysis of simply supported and cantilever, thin walled,
open section, orthotropic composite beams subjected to concentrated end moments …

The paper proposes a Ritz-type solution for free vibration and buckling analysis thin-walled
composite and functionally graded sandwich I-beams. The variation of material through the …

Consider the coupling of stretching-bending deformation induced by the arbitrarily laminated
composites, and the transverse shear deformation caused by the thick beams. A …

There is a concern with worldwide deterioration of highway bridges, particularly reinforced
concrete. The advantages of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites over conventional …
