Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have gained popularity in civil,
mechanical, aircraft, and chemical engineering domains due to their superior mechanical …

Novel hybrid laminates consisting of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers and steel plate cold
commercial (CFRP-SPCC) have been successfully manufactured and tested in the present …

Built-up sections are commonly used in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures. The built-up
sections are either welded or mechanically fastened based on the need and necessity …

The curing effect on hybrid materials consisting of steel plate cold commercial-carbon fiber
reinforced plastics (SPCC-CFRP) hybrid laminates that have potential applications in …

An improved CFRP-square hollow steel tube (CFRP-SHST) composite member
strengthened with a thick-walled section at each end of the steel tube was proposed to …

The bracing effect of Particle Cement Board (PCB) sheathing for the Cold-formed steel
(CFS) wall stud is explored in this study. Owing to the higher slenderness, the CFS wall stud …

A comprehensive test program was performed to experimentally investigate the effect of
CFRP strengthening on the axial strength and stability of CFS plain angle short columns …

This paper presents experimental results of steel beams strengthened with low-density and
low-modulus CFRP fabrics, with the objective of,(i) checking the capability of the fabric type …

This paper investigates the bracing effect of sheathing fastener connection on point-
symmetric shaped cold formed steel (CFS) studs through full-scale laboratory tests. The test …

As the basic element of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthened steel structures, FRP-
steel composite plate (FSP) is a type of superior composite plate that combines the …
