A significant proportion of damage to buildings in hurricanes occurs owing to weak roof to wall connections.
Fiber reinforced polimer to roof connection.
Studywas to develop an innovative efficient and nonintrusiveroof to wall connection for wood frame structures by using high performance fiber reinforced polymer frp composites.
The objective of this study was to develop an innovative efficient and nonintrusive roof to wall connection for wood frame structures by using high performance fiber reinforced polymer frp.
In construction it has primarily been used as a way to strengthen or repair existing structures and in some more recent applications in tension cables.
The objective of this study was to develop an innovative efficient and nonintrusive roof to wall connection for wood frame structures by using high performance fiber reinforced polymer frp composites.
Several connection configurations were developedand tested at the component level under uplift loading.
The polymer is usually an epoxy vinyl ester.
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer cfrp has been used in several capacities in the manufacturing of products such as high performance cars and airplanes as well as many other smaller products.
