The main challenge for realizing competitive hybrid steel-FRP structures, such as bridges, carparks, is to make the steel and FRP components work together. In this study shear resistance, stiffness and ductility of three types of demountable bolted shear connectors are examined. ...
As traffic loads are ever increasing and bridge infrastructure is ageing, existing materials and connection methods used in renovation and new construction projects are reaching their limits. New materials, such as Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) in the form of hollow decks can be ...
Due to the low weight and excellent durability of composite materials, Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks mounted on steel superstructures are becoming increasingly common in engineering practice. Bolted joints are generally used to facilitate connections between an FRP deck an ...
Due to constantly increasing traffic loads and ageing infrastructure, innovative materials for implementation in renovation and new bridge construction projects are gaining attention. One such innovation is hybrid structures consisting of Glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) com ...
Demountable connectors have been rarely applied in steel-FRP hybrid structures due to the lack of research, which could prove their reliable structural performance. In typical applications, e.g. in multi-girder hybrid decks, the connectors are not only subjected to longitudinal s ...
Pin-bearing is a favourable failure mode in bolted glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) joints because itoffers quasi-ductile behaviour due to complex failure mechanism involving: matrix cracking, fibre fractureand delamination. Such complexity brings the challenge in prediction ...

In recent years, a growing amount of movable highway bridges with a timber deck are approaching the end of their service life. Since these bridges have opened, the traffic intensity has increased yearly and environmental effects had the opportunity to deteriorate the bridges slow ...
