Abstract

Flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FFRP) composites are environmentally friendly construction materials. However, their creep behavior poses a new concern for structural analysis in FFRP-based structures. This study develops a systematic approach to predict the creep of an FFRP bridge. The proper constitutive model for the description of FFRP creep is first developed based on the creep test,followed by numerical simulation. A numerical simulation model in Abaqus, incorporating anisotropic creep behavior in the UMAT subroutine, is utilized to investigate structural creep. The simulation results demonstrate the necessity of establishing a three-dimensional anisotropic model to analyze the creep behavior FFRP structures.
