Exposure Test of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Structure in Temperate Marine Tide Zone

Abstract:

Through exposure test of FRP-reinforced concrete member in littoral test area of temperate marine zone, the durability and constructional measures of FRP-reinforced concrete structure are investigated. The test results show that FRP shell on the surface of FRP-reinforced concrete member is effective in avoiding wave flush, freezing and thawing damage, preventing chloride ion corrosion and improving durability. On the other hand, reliable measures should be taken to protect concrete structures with no FRP shell on the surface. Based on above, the provided reference for evaluation durability of FRP-reinforced concrete structure, and proper constructional measures for FRP-reinforced concrete structure are presented.
