Introducing a New Honeycomb-FRP Pipe
Publication: Pipelines 2012: Innovations in Design, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance, Doing More with Less
Abstract
Retrofit of pipes subjected to combined internal pressure and external loads results in designs that require installation of many layers of carbon fabric. Such repairs are very time-consuming and expensive. To overcome these shortcomings, the author has developed a new honeycomb-FRP pipe that is presented here. This method of construction uses the lower cost honeycomb to provide stiffness for the pipe. The costly carbon fabric is used only as skin reinforcement to resist the internal pressure of the pipe. The result is a higher-quality product that can save significant time and money in many pipe renovation projects.
