Abstract | This paper presents an overview of the recent developments and initiatives on FRP trusses, which has been evolving and has become a viable construction system in civil infrastructure. The paper also discusses the different jointing systems used to assemble FRP components with the aim of determining the appropriate and reliable jointing connections for fibre composites trusses. The different parameters that affect the integrity of connections such as loading condition, material preparation (stacking sequence, volume fraction, etc.), joint configuration, joint geometry, and fastening method will be evaluated. It is anticipated that by addressing these connection issues, it will minimise some ambiguities and provide an understanding to designers and engineers on the potential of fibre composites trusses and advance its application in civil engineering infrastructures. |
