Behaviour of FRP strengthened steel tubular members subjected to transverse impact loading
Description
This PhD thesis is devoted to contributing to the existing knowledge of FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) strengthened metallic structural members subjected to dynamic impacts. The outcome of this research will be beneficial to design structures for mitigating damage and failure due to lateral impact forces from transportation accidents, explosive attacks or from flying debris. A new series of laboratory tests results along with computer based structural analyses are presented to understand the effectiveness of FRP strengthening of tubular structural members. FRP strengthening found to be a promising sustainable option for minimising structural damage and human casualty due to impact loads.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
