Phase I — Research Activity 2 (completed)

Durability Evaluation

Back to: Completed Research Activities — Phase I (2000-2005)

To determine the durability of FRP composite bar exposed to aggressive environments, either directly or embedded in concrete, under laboratory and in-the-field conditions.

Projects

• Durability Performance of Glass FRP Bars as Reinforcements for Concrete Structures

• Effect of Freeze-Thaw Cycles and Sustained Load on Flexural Behaviour of GFRP and CFRP Reinforced Concrete Beams

• Durability of GFRP Reinforcing Bars in Hydrothermal Aging Condition Under Zero Stress

• Nanoclays and their Composites with Vinyl Ester Resin: Preparation, Characterization and Study of Water Absorption and Desorption Behavior

• Temperature Effect on Bond Properties of FRP Bars Embedded In Concrete

• Thermal Effect on the Structural Performance of FRP Reinforced Concrete Elements

• Performance and Durability of New GFRP Bars Coated with Innovative Moisture Barrier
