Abstract

This paper presents experimental results for durability performance of GFRP composite exposed to various environmental conditions. Specimens were conditioned for 7 environmental cases and immerged up to 150 days. A total of 720 specimens were prepared and tested for tensile strength for each immersion time. The results indicate that the tensile strength of the conditioned specimens was significantly reduced, regardless of the environmental factors considered, due to the degradation of GFRP.
