New research using data logged from sensors on a GFRP structure at the 2016 Serpentine Architecture Programme in London has found it is possible to observe stresses from real advanced composite structures. Dr Wendel Sebastian, Reader in Structural Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering at the...
