Application of composite materials for industrial structures

Abstract

Currently, the use of composite materials in construction is expanding. However, there are only isolated examples of the use of composite materials for large-scale industrial structures. The use of composites is hindered by their significantly higher cost compared to traditional building materials. However, recently, due to the improvement of the processing technology of composites, it has been possible to significantly reduce the cost of some of them, in particular pultrusion fibreglass. The efficiency of using pultrusion fibreglass for cable trestles of industrial structures has been established. It is shown that the calculation of the cable overpass element is rational in the probabilistic setting.
