Abstract

The main disadvantages ofsteel for offshore application are its corrosion properties
and heavy weight for transportation. Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) material
has been given the attention to replace steel in offshore platform due to its non-corrosive
characteristic and good low weight to strength ratio. The grating made ofGFRP is being
considered to replace the existing steel gratmg for walkways on the offshore platforms.
However, there is no available data on the long term strength performance ofthe GFRP
grating behaviour. One way of studying the long term strength performance of GFRP
material is by using accelerated ageing method. Immersion of GFRP materials in
variation type of solution at elevated temperature is among the accepted accelerated
ageing method along with the use Arrhenius model principle to predict the long term
strength performance of GFRP materials.
