Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly being used in civil engineering applications due to their numerous advantages. Moreover, some environmental conditions can potentially enhance their long-term durability. Therefore, the study of their long-term behavior is crucial to ensure their durability. To perform durability study in a reasonable time limit, accelerating factor, such as high temperature, is generally used. However, the use of very high temperature of conditioning could amplify the reduction of the properties leading to conservative prediction of long-term properties. The present paper attempts to clarify the effects of high temperatures on the mechanical and barrier properties (moisture absorption) of GFRP's internal reinforcement, by presenting some experimental results and conclusions of laboratory accelerated studies.
