Local buckling resistance of Pultruded FRP columns: Theoretical predictions vs. Experimental study

Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) in the form of thin-walled plate structures are widely used in different engineering applications due to their outstanding features such as: high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent fatigue and corrosion resistance, etc. This study focuses on the local buckling resistance of pultruded FRP columns by experimental work. The test data were compared to current theoretical and numerical predictions.
