In this work the effect of nanoclay, Cloisite 20B inclusion on the mechanical behavior of a woven-type glass fiber reinforced polymer composite was experimentally investigated. Specifically, the study examined the effect of nanoclay with various weight percentages on the tensile, compressive strengths, and modulus of elasticity of glass fiber reinforced polymers in both weft and warp directions. Results showed that depending on the warp and weft directions, the inclusion of nanoclay, Cloisite 20B, significantly improved the mechanical behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymers. A better understanding of nanoclay fillers and their contribution to mechanical behaviors can lead to better design of novel structural composites.

This article presents the results of an analytical and numerical study of the behaviour of circular hollow section (CHS) steel tubes strengthened by Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). Glass, aramid, carbon etc. fiber composites are considered for strengthening applications. In this work, glass fiber is used and it is the most popular reinforcing fiber and it is more economical to produce and widely available fiber. Performance of steel tubes is enhanced by providing strength them with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) for investigating the effect of GFRP thickness, Specimen length, winding angle. FEA Analysis is performed on the steel specimen and model is simulated in ANSYS 16 software.
