Rebar corrosion is the most common durability issue in reinforced concrete structures, and
replacing steel rebar with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar can effectively resolve the …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is one of the alternatives to steel, and can be directly used in
seawater sea sand concrete (SSC). But FRP material still has durability problems in …

The utilizations of locally available marine resources (eg, seawater, sea-sand or coral sand,
and coral coarse aggregate) for concrete preparation on reef or island areas contribute to …

This study presents a review of the effect of nano-additives in improving the mechanical
properties of composites. Nano-additives added to composites, also termed …

This study investigates the effectiveness of reducing alkalinity on the durability enhancement
of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to address their durability in the alkaline …

Thin-walled structures constructed of fiber reinforced composites are increasingly being
employed in engineering practice. However, there is limited investigation into their residual …

Basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars can be used as an appropriate substitute for
steel rebars in marine concrete structures due to their corrosion-free nature and high tensile …

The wide implementation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) in seawater sea-sand concrete
(SWSSC) structures can help solve the durability problem of infrastructure in marine …
