Abstract
A structure including a first hollow-section Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) member, and a second hollow-section FRP member arranged at an angle to the first member. A rod extends through the second member. The rod also has a threaded end section extending through or into the first member. The opposed end of the rod is fixed to a further member. A nut secures the threaded end section to the first member, and screwing of the nut and threaded end section together exerts a compressive force on the second member and a tensile force on the rod.
