This study uses glass fiber reinforced polymer composites (GFRP) composite material to replace the existing stainless steel flood gate. The authors investigated the flood gate in-situ, and choose a circular and a rectangular stainless steel flood gates as objects for this study; and then performed a finite element analysis to obtain the loads which can make the steel flood gates yielding. The obtained loads were then applied to the same close section of the circular and a rectangular GFRP flood gates; the mechanical behaviors of those gates were investigated through the finite element analysis. The safety factor of GFRP flood gate was then obtained from the finite element analysis results.
