Abstract

A model specification for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials for use in civil engineering structural systems was developed. The model specification provides a classification system for FRP materials, describes admissible constituent materials, and specifies limits on selected constituent volumes. The specification provides procedures for qualifying FRP composite laminates and for accepting FRP composite parts constructed of qualified laminates. Test methods to obtain mechanical and physical properties were devised, along with stipulation of limiting values for selected properties for both laminates and parts. Based on the Arrhenius model, a protocol was outlined for predicting long-term property values subjected to accelerated aging.
