Abstract :This study uses Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) composites to produce a framework the behavior of which was analyzed in a pushover experiment and by using a numerical analysis software. In the specimental plan, double-web FRP I-beams are used for the beams and columns of the frame but the joint are made from an GFRP deck cut into the desired form, bonded together and wrapped with carbon fiber sheet. Three types of frame specimens with braces in compression, tension and no bracing were used for each joint type – chemically bonded joint or a hybrid joint using GFRP bolts in addition to epoxy resin. When making the specimens the double-web I-beam is given a 45 ° cut at the ends to let joint fit in the frame. The joint is then bonded to the frame by chemical bonding or by hybrid bonding. The experimental results showed that the mechanical behavior of the hybrid joint is better than the chemically bonded joint and that tension bracing has a better performance. This study also uses numerical analysis software SAP2000 for the pushover simulation analysis of the frames and it was learned that the ultimate stength and force-displacement curce of the analytical results were similar to that of the experimental ones.
