Deflection-Based Numerical Evaluation of Steel, Bamboo Fibre, and Carbon Fibre Polymer Reinforced Portal Frame by S.O Odeyemi, M.A Olawale, M.O Adisa, O.D Atoyebi, Z.T Giwa

“…This study aims to compare numerically the deflection resistance of portal frames reinforced with steel, bamboo fibre, and carbon fibre polymers using Abaqus version 6.14. The replacement of steel with carbon fibre within the portal frame exhibited comparable effectiveness to that of utilizing steel, whereas the introduction of bamboo fibre was observed to yield relatively diminished efficacy. …”
