The attendees were given a comprehensive overview of content of the design standard along with examples of recent structures built using this standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing with FRP composites can be both easy and complex depending on who is doing the design. Structural engineers are trained to design with steel, concrete, and wood materials because the university professors are knowledgeable with these materials and there are many sources of written design guidance and codes. The structural engineering profession has also changed over the last 20 years moving from allowable stress design to load and resistance factor design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure FRP composites are relevant and competitive, the ACMA Pultrusion Industry Council embarked on a major project to create a prestandard on design of pultruded profiles and shapes used to construct building structures and other facilities. This prestandard led to the development of the recently completed and published ASCE\/SEI 74-23 design standard that provides the much-needed education and guidance to design pultruded FRP composites structures. This presentation covered an overview of this LRFD standard and provide examples of the impact this standard will make as an important design tool for the structural engineering profession by opening new opportunities for pultruded FRP composites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please contact <a href=\"mailto:jbusel@acmanet.org\">John Busel<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FHWA announces Low-Carbon Transportation Materials Grants Program&nbsp;
