Next generation Floating Structures with High-Performance Composites

由于钢的腐蚀，浮式结构面临着严重的劣化问题。本项目提出通过开发用于未来浮动结构的预制高性能纤维增强聚合物(FRP)-超高性能胶凝材料（UHPC）复合元件来解决老化问题。FRP-UHPC复合材料具有优异的强度比和耐久性。研究了FRP-UHPC复合材料的基本力学性能和耐久性。提出并验证了FRP-UHPC结构单元的可靠连接装置。该项目预计将提供耐用的浮动结构，维护成本低，导致当前浮动结构的革命。

Floating structures are facing severe deterioration problem due to steel corrosion. This project proposes to address the deterioration problem by developing prefabricated high-performance fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP)-ultra-high performance cementitious (UHPC) composite elements for future floating structures. FRP-UHPC composite elements have excellent strength-to-weight ratio and improved durability. Basic mechanical properties and durability of FRP-UHPC composites will be investigated. Also, reliable connection device for FRP-UHPC structural units will be proposed and verified. The project is expected to provide durable floating structures with low maintenance cost, leading to a revolution of the current floating structures.
