Experimental and numerical analysis of pGFRP and wood cross-arm in latticed tower: a comprehensive study of mechanical deformation and flexural creep by Amir Abd Latif, Mohamad Ridzwan Ishak, Muhammad Rizal Razman, Noorfaizal Yidris, Mohamed Yusoff Mohd Zuhri, Muhammad Asyraf Muhammad Rizal, Zuliskandar Ramli

“…The pGFRP cross-arms showed lower deflection at working loads compared to Balau wood, due to the latter’s higher elastic modulus and flexibility specifically at Point Y3, the critical issues necessitated reinforcement strategies. pGFRP cross-arms withstood higher bending stress, showing 32% less deflection under normal conditions and 15% less under broken wire conditions than Balau wood. Additionally, the creep strength of wood was 34% lower than that of pGFRP cross-arms. …”
