AbstractBasalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars have been increasingly applied to offshore structures, which are subjected to seawater corrosion and wet-dry cycles during their service time. This study evaluated the alkali-salt resistance performance of BFRP bars with different resin matrix types under wet-dry cycles. The tensile and shear strength of BFRP bars were tested. As a comparison, experiments of BFRP bars under continuous immersion were also conducted. The mechanisms of the two different conditions were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A relationship was established between the degradations under continuous immersion and wet-dry cycling. The results demonstrated that the alkali-salt resistance of vinyl resin matrix BFRP bars was superior to that of epoxy resin matrix BFRP bars under wet-dry cycles. Furthermore, according to the data obtained under continuous immersion, a time shift factor for predicting the durability of BFRP bars under wet-dry cycles was proposed.

This paper presents an experimental study on the compressive behavior of circular concrete columns confined by a new class of composite materials originated from basalt rock, Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer (BFRP). The primary objective of this study is to observe the compressive behavior of BFRP-confined cylindrical concrete column specimens under the effect of different number of layers of basalt fiber as a study parameter (3, 6, and 9 layers). For this purpose, 8 small scale circular concrete specimens with no internal steel reinforcement were tested under monotonic axial compression to failure. The results of BFRP-confined concrete specimens of this study showed a bilinear stress-strain response with two ascending branches. Consequently, the performance of confined columns was improved as the number of BFRP layer was increased, in which all the specimens exhibited ductile behavior before failure with significant strength enhancement. The experimental results indicate the well-performing of basalt fiber in improving the concrete compression behavior with an increase in number of FRP layers.
