Research on FRP-Reinforced Concrete Exposure Test

Abstract:

The paper makes an analysis of the selected location and feasibility of the exposure test ground in the real marine environment, and the endurance test of the FRP- reinforced concrete built-up beam has been carried out on the exposure test ground. After 6 month and 12 month’s exposure test, the beams' mechanic performance and the chloride ion content in different depths have been determined. The results show that after the exposure test, the beams' ultimate capacity has been greatly decreased to a certain extent, and the FRP board can effectively prevent chloride from penetrating.
