Abstract
Abstract This paper describes and evaluates the mechanical properties of glass and carbon fiber composites for high-rise applications by theoretically comparing and experimentally replacing conventional steel cables. The tensile and bending strength to weight ration of these fibers are extremely high such that the self-weight of the hoisting mechanism is reduced to a larger quantity, which enables to travel twice that of the present travel limitations. Both Unidirectional and bidirectional glass and carbon fibers have been analyzed with different combinations to compare mechanical properties. Significant increases in mechanical properties were absorbed in both fiber combinations.
