The publication of the Pre-Standard for the for Load & Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) of Pultruded Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Structures, hereafter referred to as the Pre-Standard, established the standardization of the design of structures in pultruded FRP composite. cache/nc580k25p40.txt txt/nc580k25p40.txt
