Abstract
This paper describes the development and applications of pultruded fiber- reinforced plastics used as primary load-bearing structural components by Composite Technology, Inc. (CTI). The pultruded RP profiled sections were designed specially for composite materials to compete with and replace conventional materials. These sections were made competitive by tailoring the geometry, advantageously placing fibers, and controlling the load path to overcome stiffness and engineering limitations, erection costs, and life-cycle costs.
