Abstract

In spite of high resistant to corrosion and its strength, over the last two decades, concerns still remain about the durability of FRP materials under severe environmental and thermal exposures. In this paper, authors experimentally examine the combined degradation by thermal and chemical attacks in heterogeneous FRP rebar be made up with various fibers and resins. Five types of Carbon, Glass and Hybrid FRP rebars had manufactured by different process and surface patterns are adopted for the experiments such as weight change, interlaminar shear strength, SEM and FT-IR analysis. FRP specimens were immersed in alkaline or distilled solution up to 150 days and then thermal exposed on 60, 100, 150 and $300^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. From the test results, the degradation of FRP bars are influnced by the resin type and manufacturing process as well as the fiber, and ILSS of exposed FRP bar in solutions is slightly increased in initial stage and then decresed with the passing of immersed time. But, in this test, it is observed that the discrepancy of ILSS between degraded by alkaline solution and distilled water is negligible value.

FRP 재료는 높은 부식저항성과 강도에도 불구하고 지난 20여년 동안 심각한 환경적 노출에 의한 재료의 성능저하에 대한 문제가 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 섬유와 수지로 구성된 이질재료인 FRP보강근이 온도와 화학적 노출을 복합적으로 받는 경우에 대하여 실험적으로 분석하였다. 각기 다른 형상으로 제작된 탄소, 유리 및 하이브리드 FRP 보강근 5종류에 대하여 중량변화, 계면전단강도(ILSS), SEM 및 FT-IR분석을 수행하였으며, 모든 FRP 실험편은 최대 150일까지 알칼리 용액과 증류수에 침지시킨 다음 60, 100, 150 및 300도의 온도에서 30분동안 노출하였다. 실험결과, 또한 FRP 보강근의 성능저하는 섬유의 종류뿐 아니라 수지의 종류와 제조과정에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 침지 초기에는 ILSS 강도가 약간 증가한 후 시간경과에 따라 강도가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 알칼리 용액과 증류수 용액에 의해 손상을 받은 ILSS의 차이는 무시할 수 있는 수준인 것으로 관찰되었다.
