Abstract

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the degradation of carbon/glass/basalt fiber reinforced polymer (i.e., CFRP/BFRP/GFRP) exposed to simulated seawater sea sand concrete environments (SWSSC) at 25, 40 and 60 °C for 6 months. The presence of NaCl in simulated concrete environment was found beneficial for the moisture uptake of CFRP and GFRP. The greater fiber degradation of BFRP was attributed to its high aluminium, iron and magnesium contents on fibers. Further, FRPs showed greater degradation resistance in high performance concrete solutions that have a lower alkaline content. Thus, CFRP exhibited the best durability to simulated SWSSC environments, followed by GFRP and BFRP.
