1 Preface EUROCOMP Design Code Scope of EUROCOMP Design Code Distinction between principles and application rules Assumptions Definitions S.I. Units Symbols common to all EUROCODES Special symbols used in the EUROCOMP Design Code Co-ordinate systems Basis of design Fundamental requirements and warning of failure Definitions and classifications Design requirements Durability Analysis Reinforcement Resins Cores Gel coats Surface veils Additives Section and member design Ultimate limit state Serviceability limit state Members in tension Members in compression Members in flexure Members in shear Stability Combination members Plates Laminate design Design data Creep

2 Fatigue Design for impact Design for explosion/blast Fire design Chemical attack Design check-list Connection design Mechanical joints Bonded joints Combined joints Construction and workmanship Objectives Manufacture and fabrication Delivery and erection Connections Sealant joints Repair of local damage Maintenance Health and safety Testing Compliance testing Testing for design and verification Additional tests for special purposes Quality control Scope and objectives Classification of the control measures Verification systems Control of different stages Control of design Control of component manufacture Control of component delivery Control of assembly Control and maintenance of completed structure EUROCOMP Handbook Basic Information Foreword Special terms used in the handbook Processes

3 Comparison with conventional structural engineerinf materials references Basis of design Fundamental requirements and warning of failure Definitions and classifications Design requirements Durability Analysis Reinforcement Resins Cores Gel coats Surface veils Additives Section and member design Ultimate limit state Serviceability limit state Members in tension Members in compression Members in flexure Members in shear Stability Combination members Plates Laminate design Design data Creep Fatigue Design for impact Design for explosion/blast Fire design Chemial attack Connection design Mechanical joints Bonded joints Combined joints

4 Construction and workmanship Objectives Manufacture and fabrication Delivery and erection Connections Sealant joints Repair of local damage Maintenance Health and safety Testing.? Compliance testing Testing for design and verification Additional tests for special purposes Quality control Scope and objectives Classification on the control measures Verification systems Control of different stages Control of design Control of component manufacturing Control of component delivery Control of assembly Control and maintenance of completed structure Test Reports Testing of galss reinforced plastic structural panels Structural characteristics Material characteristics Tests for evaluation of laminate properties Structural performance: overall tests of the glass FRP panels Finite element analysis Conclusions Bonded joint tests Test programme Test materials and test specimens Testing Results
