| Nosaukums | (1) This Technical Specification applies to the design of buildings, bridges and other civil engineering structures in fibre-polymer composite (FPC) materials, including permanent and temporary structures. It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability and durability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in EN 1990.
NOTE: Fibre-polymer composite materials are often referred to as fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials.
(2) This Technical Specification is only concerned with the requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire resistance of FPC structures.
NOTE: Other requirements, e.g. concerning seismic design or thermal or sound insulation, are not considered.
(3) This Technical Specification gives a general basis for the design of FPC structures composed of (i) FPC members, or (ii) combinations of FPC members and members of other materials (hybrid- FPC structures), and (iii) the joints between these members.
(4) This Technical Specification applies to (i) FPC members – (i.1) profiles and (i.2) sandwich panels –, and (ii) bolted, bonded and hybrid joints and their connections.
NOTE 1: Profiles and sandwich panels can be applied in structural systems such as beams, columns, frames, trusses, slabs, plates and shells.
NOTE 2: The main manufacturing processes of FPC members include pultrusion, filament winding, hand layup, resin transfer moulding (RTM), resin infusion moulding (RIM), vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM).
NOTE 3: This Technical Specification does not apply to FPC cables or special types of civil engineering works (e.g. pressure vessels).
NOTE 4: This Technical Specification does not apply to FPC components used for internal reinforcement of concrete structures (FPC rebars) or external strengthening of existing structures.
(5) This Technical Specification applies to (i) the FPC components of FPC members – (i.1) FPC plies, (i.2) FPC laminates, and (i.3) sandwich cores –, and (ii) the components of joints or their connections – (ii.1) connection plates or profiles (e.g. cleats), (ii.2) bolts, and (ii.3) adhesive layers.
NOTE 1: FPC components are composed of (i) FPC materials, i.e. fibres and matrix resins, and (ii) core materials. Components of joints and their connections are also composed of (i) FPC, (ii) steel or (iii) adhesive materials.
NOTE 2: The fibre reinforcement of FPC components can comprise a single type of fibres or a hybrid of two or more types of fibres.
(6) This Technical Specification applies to FPC materials, comprising (i) glass, carbon, basalt or aramid fibres, and (ii) a matrix based on unsaturated polyester, vinylester, epoxy or phenolic thermoset resins.
NOTE: This Technical Specification does not apply to FPC materials comprising a matrix based on thermoplastic resins.
(7) This Technical Specification applies to the core materials (i) polymeric foams, and (ii) balsa wood, both with a minimum density of 40 kg/m3.
NOTE 1: The core of sandwich panels can be reinforced by FPC webs and inserts.
NOTE 2: This Technical Specification does not apply to honeycomb cores.
(8) This Technical Specification applies to thermoset adhesives, including (i) epoxy, (ii) polyurethane, and (iii) acrylic resins.
NOTE: This Technical Specification does not apply to thermoplastic adhesives |
