Abstract
With the expansion of pultruded composites into the construction industry, there exists a need for further studies on the properties of these materials. This paper presents the results from a series of tests on the physical properties of pultruded composite materials. Specimens cut from structural shapes, plates, gratings and rebars have been tested by using a supplementary procedure to the ASTM D2584-68 Standard Test Method for Ignition Loss of Cured Reinforced Resins. This supplementary procedure is used to remove the filler material added to the resin during the pultrusion process. The results from this series of tests have been used to show the wide variations that exist in specimens cut from similar samples of pultruded material. Also, pictorial illustrations are given of several representative samples of the post burnout fibre architecture of the pultruded composites.
