Effectiveness of FRP in Reducing Corrosion in a Marine Environment

Abstract

PROJECT GOALS: How effective is FRP in mitigating corrosion? How important is the pre-wrap repair? How feasible is it to conduct field repairs? Tests are underway to evaluate FRP's performance as a barrier. If possible, we would like to evaluate coatings that could conceivably be used to improve FRP's performance.
