Summary:

In this study, static and dynamic analyses of truss systems made of pultruded fiber

reinforced polymer composite materials were investigated. Static and dynamic analyses of

plane truss and space truss systems constructed using steel, glass fiber reinforced polymer,

carbon fiber reinforced polymer and aramid fiber reinforced polymer material were

performed. The results obtained from the analyses are given comparatively. The crosssectional

areas of the glass fiber reinforced polymer, the carbon fiber reinforced polymer and

the aramid fiber reinforced polymer materials were obtained using the steel cross-sectional

area to the Equivalent Stiffness method and Equivalent-Strenght method.
