Purpose: The purpose of this study is to define guideline for fiber-glass-resin-putty repairing method for submarine GFRP by comparing structural strength between normal GFRP and putty repaired GFRP. Methods: GFRP specimen tensile and flexural tests are conducted in accordance with ASTM D3039/3039M-17 and ASTM D790 Procedure A. The collected data was analysed whether satisfies its structural strength criteria. Furthermore, It is analysed to find dominant reason of structural strength changes. Results: The result of the study is as follows; flexural strength of GFRP is satisfied strength criteria for all test cases, but tensile strength is not satisfied its criteria for some cases which over 2 mm depth of surface damage. Conclusion: The fiberglass-resin-putty repairing method should be applied to under 2 mm depth of damage which is not affecting to roving fiber layer destruction in GREP laminate.
