“…Their unique characteristics, including that they are light in weight, high in strength and stiffness, high in corrosive resistance, have smooth internal surfaces, and have easy joining systems, have enabled their diverse utilization. Fiber reinforced plastic pipes have been the main competitors of traditional concrete, steel, and asbestos pipes in the aforementioned fields of applications (Chen 2012;Rafiee and Amini 2015).…”

“…The use of continuous fibers ensures the evenness in the direction of the fiber arrangement, and the use of cylindrical mandrel ensures evenness in the inside diameters of pipes. This procedure in the industrial production line is commercially called the filament winding process (Rafiee and Amini 2015).…”

Pipes that are light in weight are necessary for convenience and to reduce the cost of transportation and installation. A new design of glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) pipe with a bamboo and veneer layer is presented in this paper. The core layer of the sandwich structure of the pipe wall is made of bamboo and veneer, and the inner and outer layers are FRP. Range analysis and variance analysis of orthogonal experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of fiber stress, winding angle, and core material on the mechanical performance of the pipes subjected to shearing and parallel-plate loading tests. The results indicated that the new design of FRP pipe with a bamboo and veneer layer was feasible, and the pipe had better mechanical performance with a fiber stress of 300 N, a winding angle of 30°, and a core material of bamboo. Core material was the most influential factor in mechanical performance. The average density of pipes was 0.94 g/cm 3 , approximately half that of the glass fiber reinforced plastic mortar (GRPM) pipes. The FRP pipe offered advantages in terms of weight savings and improved mechanical performance, and it showed a great application potential for the future.

“…Table 2 summarizes the physical and mechanical properties of GRE composite pipes at different temperatures [16]. The required mechanical properties are calculated using the rule of mixture for the longitudinal Young's modulus and the major Poisson's ratio and Tsai-Wu formulation for the transverse and shear Young's modulus [15]. Figure 1 shows the flowchart for the prediction of failure of GRE composite pipes at elevated temperature conditions.…”

The effects of elevated temperatures on the performance of glass-reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipes under multi-axial loadings were investigated. Finite element software was used to develop the layers of the winding angle on GRE composite pipes. The simulations of the closed-ended pipes' performance under internal pressure loadings of various hoop to axial stress interactions were observed, then the failure strength was illustrated in the form of a failure envelope. Five different stress ratios ranging from pure axial loading 0:1, 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 and pure hoop 1:0 were tested at elevated temperatures (room temperature (RT), 65°C and 95°C) respectively. The first ply failure (FPF) for GRE pipes was predicted based on Tsai-Wu failure criteria. The results show that the highest temperature reduced the strength of the GRE pipes since the hoop and axial stress decreased with increasing temperature and thus the mechanical properties of the GRE pipes were degraded with the increase of temperature. Both showed a strong dependence on the stress ratio and test temperatures. Moreover, as the temperature increases, the glass fibres become more ductile and cause the failure envelopes to shrink towards the origin and become slightly narrower to accommodate the increase in strength of the composite pipes. It is shown that the initial failure stress based failure envelope at elevated temperatures generally degraded, except for the 2:1 loading where the initial failure stress increased.

“…In 1979, sand glass fiber reinforced plastic pipeline was made in Italy, successively used in China, European and African countries. Rafiee and Amini (2015) performed the study of failure mechanism of FRPM, developed the continuous failure damage model (SFM), and verified it through the different layer structure of mechanical properties of FRPM test. Ouellette and Beach (1981) studied the design method of FRPM pipeline, suggested that based on the structural feature of FRPM and load requirements, the maximum load, flexural strength, shear strength and the bearing capacity of each layer must be calculated.…”

This paper investigated the performance and behaviour of glass fiber reinforced plastic mortar (FRPM) pipes under different loading conditions. FRPM pipes with inner diameter of 1500 mm were prefabricated in factory. Mechanics performance testing (ring and axial compressive strength and elastic modulus), stiffness and fatigue test were carried out in laboratory. Ring stiffness test provided pipe stiffness (PS) which is a function of geometry and material type of pipe through parallel plate loading test (PPLT). The fatigue test and micro-structure measure method were used to evaluate the durability effects of FRPM under repeated compression load. Results indicated that FRPM pipes had better mechanic performances as the road culverts under soils. It may be helpful for the design and construction of FRPM culverts.
