Can someone please help me with recommendation for design code for structural GRP.
We have a GRP post ( Cantilevered Column, 1.0m height) subject to working load of 80kg (horizontal point load at the top end)
We have carried out a number of destruction tests and they break at 90Kg to 120 Kg. (Different samples fail at different load)
Is this sufficient? What should be the Factor of safety? What is the governing international code to support the requirement for the FoS?
Thank you
