Flexural Behavior and Failure Modes of Pultruded GFRP Tube Concrete-Filled Composite Beams: A Review of Experimental and Numerical Studies

Pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials are increasingly recognized in civil engineering for their exceptional properties, including a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication, making them ideal for composite structural applications. The use of c...
