Abstract
A pultrusion fiber reinforced polymer (PFRP) structural frame assembly comprises a plurality of PFRP vertical columns, comprising at least one PFRP I-beam vertical column or PFRP wide flange vertical column; a plurality of PFRP horizontal beams, comprising at least one PFRP I-beam horizontal beam or PFRP wide flange horizontal beam; and at least one PFRP clip angle bracket configured to connect the at least one PFRP I-beam vertical column or PFRP wide flange vertical column to the at least one PFRP I-beam horizontal beam or PFRP wide flange horizontal beam.
Claims16
A pultrusion fiber reinforced polymer (PFRP) structural frame assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of PFRP vertical columns, comprising at least one PFRP I-beam vertical column or PFRP wide flange vertical column;
- a plurality of PFRP horizontal beams, comprising at least one PFRP I-beam horizontal beam or PFRP wide flange horizontal beam;
- and
- at least one PFRP clip angle bracket configured to connect the at least one PFRP I-beam vertical column or PFRP wide flange vertical column to the at least one PFRP I-beam horizontal beam or PFRP wide flange horizontal beam.
A method of constructing a pultrusion fiber reinforced polymer (PFRP) structural frame assembly, comprising:
- provisioning a plurality of PFRP vertical columns, comprising at least one PFRP I-beam vertical column or PFRP wide flange vertical column;
- provisioning a plurality of PFRP horizontal beams, comprising at least one PFRP I-beam horizontal beam or PFRP wide flange horizontal beam;
- and
- employing at least one PFRP clip angle bracket to connect the at least one PFRP I-beam vertical column or PFRP wide flange vertical column to the at least one PFRP I-beam horizontal beam or PFRP wide flange horizontal beam.
