Structural Tests on Housing Components of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyester Laminate.

摘要

The report describes a series of structural evaluation tests performed on housing components made with a glass fiber reinforced polyester (FRP) laminate. The components tested were: (1) the FRP laminate used for the facings and the corrugated core of the basic panel; (2) the adhesive bond between the facing and core; (3) typical wall panels;and (4) typical roof panels. Test data include: (1) the effect of temperature and moisture on the tensile and compressive strength of the FRP laminate; (2) the effect of temperature,accelerated aging and sustained loads on the tensile shear strength of the facing-to-core polyester adhesive bond; (3) the short-term strength of the wall panels under compressive and in-plane shear loading; (4) the long-term strength of the wall panels under sustained compressive loading;and (5) the short-term and long-term performance of the roof panels under flexural loading.
