Durability of GFRP composite exposed to various environmental conditions
Abstract This paper presents a short-term durability test program for E-glass/vinylester composite exposed to various environmental conditions. The main objective of this study is to investigate the degradation of GFRP composite and its influence on the tensi le strength. A total of 530 strand-type E-glass/vinylester specimens were fabricated and exposed to six different environmental conditions for up to 150 days. To examine the degradation of conditioned specimens, the weight gain was measured and scanning electronic microscope images were taken at fractured section. Also, the tensile strength of the specimens was tested. From the test results, it is clear that the tensile strength of the conditioned specimens was significantly reduced due to the degradation of GFRP under the environmental conditions considered.
