Glasfibre structures feature high potentials for optimization and substitution of conventional materials like steel and aluminum and their alloys. The paper deals with the insertion of glasfibre trusses into thin glasfibre structures to reinforce them. The effective material properties of the glasfibre structures were estimated by experiments and simulations. Furthermore the Young's modulus of the trusses was obtained by bending tests and tension tests. A comparison between bending experiments and bending simulations is given.
