A further investigation of lattice structures manufactured from continuous glass fibres in a polyester matrix for railway electrification structures (TM-PDU-140)

An 18 m portal frame, suitable for a temporary overhead electrification structure, was built from modular composite lattice beams and erected and tested at the Mickleover Test Site. The deflection tests were carried out to verify a theoretical study of the structure. Results show that deflections can be accurately predicted...
