ELEMENT DE STRUCTURE SOLLICITABLE EN TRACTION ET EN COMPRESSION AVEC UNE PLUS GRANDE SECURITE

摘要

A structural member capable of transmitting both tensile and compressive forces is made up of a first component and a second component each capable of transmitting the load which the structural member is designed to carry. The first component is formed of a structural metal while the second component consists of fiber-reinforced synthetic plastic material fibers wound on the first component in the elongated direction of the structural member. If the first component fails, then the second component made up of the longitudinally wound fibers can take over the transmission of the designed load.
