Abstract

This paper presents the basis of design of the European Technical Specification (TS) FprCEN/TS 19101 for the ultimate limit state (ULS) design of fibre-polymer composite structures, which follows the philosophy and partial factor format of the Eurocodes. The first part of the paper describes the general format of the design value of resistance adopted in the TS. The second part describes the particularization of such general format for specific types of ULS design, where a differentiation is made between the ULS design of: (i) composite components and members, and bolted connections and joints; and, (ii) creep rupture, fatigue, adhesive connections and fire. The final part of the paper presents a summary of the values of the partial factors included in the TS and provides the rationale for their definition.
