Abstract
Shear lag model for fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) composite simply supported II-beams under bending loads was put forward using the energy method. Two pultruded FRP composite simply supported II-beams under three cases of loads were studied with finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental methods to validate the present model. Finally, parametric studies on the shear lag coefficients were presented. It was concluded that the present model of this article agrees closely with the FEA results and the experimental results.
