Due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites have been used in various civil structures. However, the GFRP profiles may be perforated to allow bolting, wiring, and pipelining, causing stress concentration and safety concerns in load-carrying scenarios. A fundamental understanding of the stress concentration mechanisms and the efficacy of mitigation techniques in such anisotropic materials remains limited, particularly for the complex stress states introduced by perforations and mechanical fasteners. This study investigates the effectiveness of three techniques, adhesive filling, bolt reinforcement, and elliptical perforation design, in mitigating stress concentration and enhancing the strength of perforated GFRP plates. The effects of perforation geometry, filler modulus, bolt types, and applied preloads on the stress concentration and bearing capacity are investigated through experimental and finite element analysis. The results reveal that steel bolt reinforcement significantly improves load-bearing capacity, achieving a 13.9% increase in the pultrusion direction and restoring nearly full strength in the transverse direction (4.91 kN vs. unperforated 4.89 kN). Adhesive filling shows limited effectiveness, with minimal load improvement, while elliptical perforations exhibit the lowest performance, reducing strength by 38% compared to circular holes. Stress concentration factors (SCF) vary with hole diameter, peaking at 5.13 for 8 mm holes in the pultrusion direction, and demonstrate distinct sensitivity to filler modulus, with optimal SCF reduction observed at 30-40 GPa. The findings highlight the anisotropic nature of GFRP, emphasizing the importance of reinforcement selection based on loading direction and structural requirements. This study provides critical insights for optimizing perforated GFRP components in modular construction and other civil engineering applications.
