On the response to hygrothermal aging of pultruded FRPs used in the civil engineering sector

This paper presents the effects of hygrothermal aging on the durability of a pultruded flat sheet, immersed in distilled water at 25 °C, 40 °C, 60 °C or 80 °C for a period of 224 days. Elevated temperatures noticeably increase the moisture diffusion coefficient and moisture uptake behaviour. Measure...
