Influence of Seawater on Strength of Concrete Beams Strengthened With Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheet
Rana Hardin Pratama Akhmad
Abstract:Concrete structures close to seawater cannot be avoided in the construction of current facilities and infrastructure. Concrete submerged in seawater will reduce its strength and increase the corrosion rate of reinforcing steel. With Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Sheet (GFRP-S) technology, it is possible to increase the strength of concrete and protect reinforcing steel from the effects of seawater corrosion. Several laboratory studies were carried out on GFRP-S coating as an addition and protection against se… Show more
