Three-point bending test of sandwich beams supporting the GFRP footbridge design process - validation
Abstract
Some selected aspects concerning material and construction design issues for pedestrian footbridge made of GFRP composite materials are elaborated in this paper. The analysis is focused on validation tests, which are particularly important because of the advanced technology and materials that are used for this innovative bridge. The considered footbridge is a sandwich-type shell structure comprising of PET foam core and outer skins made of glass fibre reinforced polymer laminate. A proper connection of foam core and laminate skins is crucial, regarding its load bearing capacity. The aim of this paper is to compare experimental and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results of sandwich beams subjected to bending loading in three point bending tests, which are afterwards used to validate the stiffness properties of the full structure.
