Abstract

This paper presents experimental results for durability performance of GFRP composite exposed to the $80^{\circ}C$ alkali solution. A total of 280 specimens for 4 types of additive and 7 cases of immersion time were prepared and tested. Additives used in this study were PVA, kaolin clay, and alumina powder. Specimens were immerged up to 30 days and tested for tensile strength for each immersion time. The results indicate that it is important to fill the inner space of GFRP composite densely to avoid the decrease of tensile strength. In this study, PVA additive showed better performance than other additives.
