In the marine industry, Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) are currently dominating the manufacture of vessels up to 50m in length, with liquid resin infusion (LRI) being the most frequently used manufacturing technique, of which vacuum-assisted liquid resin infusion is the most widely [...]

Abstract

Numerical results are compared to experimental data on concretes exposed in field conditions for 19 years and subjected to wetting/drying cycles in seawater after a couple of curing days. They were obtained thanks to a hydration model assuming fully hydrated concretes (19 years of [...]
