FRP modelling in STAAD
FRP modelling in STAAD
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
Can anybody share how to model the FRP strengthening systems in STAAD.Pro v8i. I am planning on analyzing a tubular pile structure which has been strengthened using FRP wraps. I know all the material properties of the fiber wraps but can anybody guide me how to properly model them in STAAD. Also in case of fiber wrap systems, adhesives play a very major role as the whole strength depends on adhesive's capacity so how to take care of that during modelling?

To me, that should be a simple calculation transformed section properties to come up with equivalent cross sectional properties for the multi-material members.
Acombined = A1 + nA2, where n = ratio between the young's modulus of the two materials. Same basic idea with moment of inertia....
