Man-made composites are vastly implemented in various engineering applications,
particularly in cross-arm component of latticed transmission tower. However, their practice in …

The significant features of the GFRP angle make it one of the modern construction members
for the present lattice-type Transmission Line Towers (TLT) made out of mild steel. The …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the crushing and tensile performance of built-up glass
fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) pultruded angle sections under compression and tension …

Glass fiber reinforced plastics are widely used in civil engineering because of their
advantages such as light weight, high strength, good pollution resistance, and corrosion …

Cross-arm members, which are the main structural component of transmission towers, are
made of pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer (PGFRP) composite material. Initially, cross …

Glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP), with their advantage of corrosion resistance, have
potential to be used as structural members in civil engineering constructions. Pultruded …

In the present paper, a novel type of composite cross-arm for power transmission lines has
been introduced. The proposed cross-arm consists of composite pultruded tubes and …

The polymer composite known as Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) has several
advantages over conventional materials. It has been slowly incorporated into civil …

This paper presents the development of a formulation, based on Positional Finite Element
Method, to describe the viscoelastic mechanical behavior of space trusses. The numerical …

Axial compression tests are carried out for GFRP hollow cross-arms with different
slenderness ratios. With increase in the slenderness ratio of a member, its buckling bearing …
