Abstract

A discussion on some design rules for pultruded fiber-reinforced plastic (PFRP) profiles reported by guideline CNR DT-205/2007 from National Research Council of Italy is presented in the paper. At eight years after approval of this technical document, several changes and improvements are required following recent research findings and supplemental design rules should be incorporated into a future revision. The general framework for the design of columns and beams is outlined. A new closed-form expression for the local buckling moment for beams in major-axis bending is presented.
