Abstract
This paper focuses on the mechanical properties of PFRP composite materials. Especially, relationship between shear property and the other mechanical properties of PFRP composite materials is investigated through comparison between experimental and theoretical results. The shear property of PFRP composite specimen is calculated from the theoretical equations which were suggested in previous studies. In addition, comparison between the shear property determined by the tensile test and the shear property calculated from theoretical equations is conducted and discussed. It was found that the theoretically predicted shear modulus of elasticity considering contiguity is close to the shear modulus of elasticity obtained by the 45° off-axis tensile test.
