Extraction and Physio-Mechanical Testing of FRP Reinforcing Bars from 5-year-old Seawater Concrete Test Blocks on Halls River Bridge Bulkhead
The primary objective is to review the limitation of using BFRP rebar in submerged conditions, as currently stated in the Structures Manual Volume 4 by extracting concrete test blocks containing FRP reinforcing bars from the Halls River Bridge bulkhead cap, and performing tests as indicated in this scope on BFRP and GFRP bars, and CFRP strands embedded in the test blocks.
