Étude de l'impact de l'humidité et de l'alcalinité sur des armatures de polymères renforcés de fibres (PRF)

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The FRP rebars technology remains relatively recent and suffers from a bad reputation in terms of durability which slows its acceptation among the professionals of the construction field. The aim of the work presented in this essay is to study the effects of moisture and alkalinity on the mechanical and thermo mechanical performances of FRP rebars. Nowadays, the progressions of FRP performances have been widely studied by different researchers but we still have few knowledge about the modes of degradation which lead to performance losses. The final goal of this work is to find investigation trails for the understanding of those degradation mechanisms which could possibly be taken over as part of a thesis work. The work is divided into two projects. The first one is the study of accelerated aging of glass fibers reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars, of different diameters, conditioned in a moist environment. The second one concerns the behavior of GFRP and basalt fibers reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebars, of same diameter, conditioned in an alkaline environment which simulates the interstitial solution of concrete.
