“…Apart from the degradation of bond performance, as in the previously discussed case of exposure to elevated temperatures, polymer composites display a huge vulnerability against fire since resins are organic materials mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen, both highly flammable. The performance and behavior of a repaired concrete beam under fire depend also on the type of cracks, repaired using epoxy, and on the extent of repair [ 51 ]. In addition, severe health hazards derived from polymers and composites in a fire accident is generated from the toxic combustion products created during burning of materials.…”

The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for the rehabilitation of buildings or other infrastructure is increasingly becoming an effective and popular solution, being able to overcome some of the drawbacks experienced with traditional interventions and/or traditional materials. The knowledge of long-term performance and of durability behavior of FRP, in terms of their degradation/aging causes and mechanisms taking place in common as well as in harsh environmental conditions, still represents a critical issue for a safe and advantageous implementation of such advanced materials. The research of new and better performing materials in such fields is somewhat limited by practical and economical constrains and, as a matter of fact, is confined to an academic argument.
