Fastener Failure in FRP vs. Permanent Fastening in Steel & GreenGirt CMH™ (Composite Metal Hybrid) for Construction Framing
Types of “Z-Girt” Sub-Framing Material Z-girts and fasteners play crucial roles within the building envelope: Z-girts serve as attachment points for cladding, assist in establishing thermal breaks, and ensure a […]
FRP Materials: The Impact of Screw Pull-Out in Construction
Introduction Screw pull-out, or the phenomenon where a screw is extracted from its bind due to stress or strain, can significantly compromise the integrity of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in […]
Screw Pull-Out and Screw Creep Rupture in FRP
Introduction In modern materials science and engineering, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) has emerged as a leading example of advanced composite materials. With their notable mechanical properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio […]
