Method for predicting the durability of polymer-composite reinforcement in cement concrete

Abstract

The combination of operational factors increases significantly ageing and failure rate of polymer composite materials under stress-strain conditions. The objective of this study is to develop the method for simulating the behavior of polymer composite reinforcements in cement concrete under stress-strain conditions. The procedure was developed and the setup was upgraded to conduct accelerated testing of polymer composite reinforcements for cement concrete. The significance of the findings for the construction industry lies in the development of methodology for predicting the durability of polymer composite materials under specified operating conditions.
