“…As a result of these strain concentrations the transverse failure strain for UD plies is considerably lower than the longitudinal failure strain. Many previous studies have examined the parameters which influence transverse tensile strength including matrix failure strain, interface quality, fibre distribution and diameter and fabrication parameters [19][20][21][22][23].…”

In this study the transverse modulus of three high modulus (M40, M46 and K63712) carbon fibres has first been measured directly by nano-indentation measurements. Transverse tensile tests on unidirectional epoxy composites were then performed, and the comparison was made between transverse fibre properties from indentation and those needed to obtain the measured transverse composite modulus using micromechanics expressions. The latter tended to underestimate values from indentation, by up to 36%, and reasons for this are discussed. Values of transverse fibre modulus determined by both methods decrease as longitudinal fibre modulus increases.

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FrP) composites are increasingly being used in the field of civil engineering, either for the rehabilitation/retrofitting of existing infrastructures or for the construction of new structural elements. However, such applications are still recent and there are still unresolved questions regarding the long-term durability of FrP reinforcements or structural elements under service conditions, and their behaviour under accidental fire events as well. In this chapter, it is proposed to highlight the basic mechanisms involved in the environmental degradation of FrP composites, with a large emphasis on ageing mechanisms of the polymer matrix and their consequences on the mechanical properties. the last section is specifically devoted to the fire behaviour of polymer composites and also recalls existing fire-proofing solutions.
