Application of Composites to Construction Industry and Development of Concrete Filled Composite Compression Member

복합소재의 건설분야 응용현황과 콘크리트 합성압축부재의 개발

Due to many advantages of advanced composite materials, research on the application of composites to the construction industry is initiated. In this paper, fabrication methods efficient for infrastructures and application examples of each method are discussed. It also presents the structural characteristics of concrete filled glass fiber reinforced composite tubular member. Experimental results shows that strength and ductility of composite compression member is considerably increased due to concrete confinement action of composite surface.
