Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the main problems connected to the design of a civil structures made from composite materials, starting from the initial choice of the material up to the choice of the opportune procedure for designing and verifying the FRP elements. Finally, the authors carried out an example of rehabilitation of a roofing structure consisting in replace totally the latter with a new one made entirely from FRP pultruded profiles. The new roofing structure is truss-frame type with a length equal to twelve meter whose connections are realized with steel bolts. The material used consist of glass FRP and the geometrical and mechanical properties are given by technical data sheets edited by the manufacturer.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
