For FRP pipe analyis, you have to use the following FRP properties (to be furnished by FRP vendor)
Axial Modulus of elasticity
FRP ratio (as per casear input spread sheet)
Thermal expansion coefficent
lamination type
Some of the properties you have to enter in special execution parameters and others in the input spread sheet directly.
It is also recommended to get allowable hoop stress, axial stress, allowable bending stresses directly from the vendor for sustained, operating and occalsional loading conditions. So you need not fill up any data for allowable stress in the caesar input spreadsheet.
In the result, you can just compare the actual axial stress, bending stress, hoop stress by using 132 character print option and compare with vendor allowable for sustained, operating and occasional loading condition. Sometimes, the vendor will furnish different axial and bending allowable stresses versus hoop stresses and in such case you have to take the allowable stresses coressonding to hoop stress.
