Abstract

This work recognizes areas of rational use and the level of appropriate load increase 
for  using  external  CFRP  reinforcement  to  increase  the  stability  of  centrally  compressed  metal elements. 
An analysis of possible effective solutions for external CFRP reinforcement of compressed 
metal struts is presented and the principles of applied determination of general parameters of their stability are formulated. With  symmetrical  external  reinforcement  of  compressed  metal  struts  by  FRP,  their  overall flexibility is reduced, which is ensured by the work of external reinforcement in the cross-sectional area that receives tension in the process of losing stability. Accordingly, the principles of practical determination of the overall stability of the considered structures are presented, taking into account the  specific  features  of  the  combined  operation  of  steel  and  FRP:  significant  heteromodulus  of materials, additional temperature stresses that add to the load on the metal elements, the practical ability of FRP to effectively perceive only tensile forces, which changes the working position of the center of gravity of the cross-section upon loss of stability, as well as the inability of FRP systems 
that involve adhesive fastening, to be fully operational as part of a whole structure. 
Currently,  there  is  a  need  for  appropriate  systematization  and  adaptation  of  existing  global practices for reinforcing the elements in question with fiber plastics and for  developing corresponding domestic standards. 
There is a need for appropriate development of applied methods for determining the overall 
stability of specified elements, based on the existing national regulatory framework for the calculation of metal structures and substantiated by the necessary experimental studies.
