Description
This research has studied the environmental durability of CFRP strengthened steel circular hollow section (CHS) member under cold weather and a marine environment at different temperatures experimentally and numerically under bending. A significant reduction of tensile strength was found for adhesives material in both environments. The cold weather and a marine environment adversely affected the durability by reducing strength and stiffness of CFRP strengthened CHS members. An embedded GFRP layer together with CFRP layers enhanced durability in marine environment. A suitable durability design factor has been proposed under both environments.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
