ABSTRACT: The long-term performance of pultruded structural angle sections has been investigated through
a campaign of fatigue testing. Equal angle sections have served to represent the connected element of glass fibre
reinforced polymer (GFRP) façade panels. Characteristic behaviour pertinent to application of GFRP pultrusions
in facades is reported. ...
