  1. A Study on Pushover Test and Numerical Analysis of GFRP Frame with Metal Joints Yeou-Fong Li1, Jian-Yu Lai2 1Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering , NTUT, Taipei, Taiwan. 2Master of the Department of Civil Engineering, NTUT, Taipei, Taiwan. • The Experimental Results of Double-Span Frame • The Experimental Results of Single-Span Frame Keywords： FRP, GFRP Frame, Pushover Test Abstract : This study focuses to GFRP frame which is made by assembling GFRP components and metal joints and fastening them with bolts. A total of six specimens were used, and these were divided into single-span and double-span frames. Single-span specimens include a prototype specimen, a tension-braced specimen and a compression-braced specimen. The double-span specimens on the other hand include a prototype specimen, a tension-compression-braced specimen and a compression-tension -braced specimen. Finally the specimens were analyzed in the Pushover test and numerical simulation was done using SAP2000 before comparing the experimental results with the analytical ones. Experimental results show that the tension-braced specimen has the highest ultimate strength, initial stiffness and the most effective energy dissipation. The compression-braced specimen failed by the buckling of the brace while the rest of frame had no visible failure. This indicates that the secondary member, the compression brace member which is also replaceable, can provide early warning for the structure. Analysis results when compared with the experimental results have an absolute error rate less than 4 %, showing correlation. • Error Percentage Between Ultimate Strength of the Experiment and Analysis
