Suggested Guidelines for Performance-Based Tests

by
Task Committee on Fiber-Reinforced Composite Structures for Overhead Lines of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE


Part of: Recommended Practice for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Products for Overhead Utility Line Structures

Abstract:

Although several standard tests are cited in this chapter, these tests are not designed specifically for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) overhead line structures. There are, in fact, no standards for FRP structures used for line construction. There are two standards, ANSI C136.20 and ASTM D4923-92, for FRP lighting poles; however, these standards are for lighting poles and are not applicable to FRP poles that are used for overhead line construction.
