Abstract
Pultruded Glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP)-steel hybrid structures have become increasingly popular in civil infrastructures. However, the connection between GFRP and steel members is one of the key issues limiting the development of the innovative structure. This paper presents tensile capacity of bolted sleeve connection between GFRP and steel members. With consideration of the pre-loaded bolt effect, the appropriate fastening torque was proposed by finite element investigation. The adhesive effect was also considered and investigated by cohesive zone method. The bolted sleeve connection provides a good solution for the tubular and large-span structures.
