Effect of Natural Weathering on Durability of Pultruded Glass Fiber–Reinforced Bridge and Building Structures
Abstract
After 17 and 15 years of use, respectively, a detailed inspection of a pedestrian bridge and a 5-story building structure composed of partly adhesively bonded pultruded glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) profiles was conducted accompanied by full-scale serviceability and destructive coupon testing on exchangeable profiles. The bridge is exposed to a harsh Alpine climate and the building to a mild plateau climate. The system and material...
