Abstract:
The current study uses FRP structural components for the design of a green fence, and performs a three-point bending test of the FRP profile specified by the design in an effort to determine the FRP profile ultimate flexural strength. Moreover, connection pull-out tests of mechanical connection and chemically bonded connection were separately performed as well as FRP beam-column connection strength test. It is expected that the viability of FRP green fence can by testified from the ultimate loads obtained from both experiments. A demonstration case study was also performed to prove the feasibility of the FRP green fence. In the end, a carbon footprint evaluation and life cycle cost assessment are conducted to evidence the low carbon emission and low life-cycle cost of FRP green fence.
