Bulk Glass Reinforced Composite Columns Physical Testing Results, Analysis, and Discussion Data

Raw data for Bulk Glass Reinforced Composite Columns Physical Testing Results, Analysis, and Discussion research paper. These are composite columns constructed of polyurethane resin (which naturally bonds to glass, eliminating the need for sizing agents) and bulk glass. The available data is raw data of the load - deflection curves for the sample glass reinforced composite columns. Testing was exclusively compressive as this is the intended design use of these columns. Additionally, finite element models are provided, which were utilized to determine the stresses within the columns at the point of delamination and failure. The finite element models are presented such that the bonding condition can be modified to determine the failure buckling strength condition of both bonded and unbonded columns.
