Technical Date and Code

For design and structural analysis using pultruded profiles, strength and serviceability limit state values should be used. To determine the correct dimensions, the technical values provided by Fibrotec must be used. These values take into account the anisotropic properties of the material, which have been obtained through testing.

Material Strength and Values

All of the values listed below have been obtain through tests performed in the laboratories of technology centers and universities.
