Abstract
The pin-bearing strength of glass fibre reinforced plastic plates was measured using specimens possessing mid-plane symmetry and composed of eight layers, two each at 0° , 90° , and ±45° . The results suggest that placing the 90° layer (normal to the applied load) at or next to the surface increases the bearing strength. The ultimate failure mode was found to depend on stacking sequence.Keywords
