EFFECT OF SALT CORROSION ON FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF BFRP TENDONS
Basalt fiber-reinforced polymer(BFRP)tendon is a promising prestressing component for marine engineering.However,the fatigue behavior of BFRP tendons in marine environment is still unclear.This paper studies the fatigue behavior of BFRP tendons after aged in a salt solution by temperature-accelerated experiments.The degradation is analyzed and discussed in terms of fatigue strength.The degradation mechanism is clarified based on the failure mode and the scanning electron microscopy(SEM)analysis.The results show that BFRP tendons maintain a fatigue strength higher than 0.52 fu after aged in salt solution.The fatigue strength degradation of BFRP tendons is controlled by the weakened fiber-matrix interface resulting from the hydrolyzation of Si-O-Si chemical bonds in salt solution.SEM shows that specimens aged at 55 ℃ for 63 days demonstrate significant corrosion.The results provide guidance for the fatigue design of BFRP tendons in a marine environment.
