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. 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. 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. Several connection configurations were developedand tested at the component level under uplift loading.

Fibre reinforced plastic frp also called fiber reinforced polymer or fiber reinforced plastic is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres the fibres are usually glass in fibreglass carbon in carbon fiber reinforced polymer aramid or basalt rarely other fibres such as paper wood or asbestos have been used. The performance characteristics of frp strengthening have become increasingly popular in construction and retrofit applications specifically in aging damaged or.
