Abstract
Using basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to substitute for
steel rebar in seawater sea-sand concrete (SSC) members is one of
effective solutions to steel corrosion. However, there is a concern
about the durability of BFRP due to the alkaline of SSC. In this study, a
layer of carbon fibers coating (volume fraction was set at 10% and
20%) was used to improve the alkaline resistance of BFRP, which
named as carbon/basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (C/BFRP) hybrid
bars. The tensile properties, interlaminar shear strength, and water
absorption and diffusion behavior of the C/BFRP were examined by
laboratory acceleration methods. The immersion solution
temperatures were set at room temperature, 40 and 60°C, immersion
mediums were tap-water and two kinds of alkaline solutions (pH = 10
or 13). Carbon fiber coating is beneficial for improving the mechanical
properties of the composite. The higher the fiber volume fraction, the
better the long-term resistance of C/BFRP can be found. However,
carbon-basalt fiber interface is still a weak part in the durability of
C/BFRP. The higher the volume fraction of the coating carbon fibers,
the greater the quasi-equilibrium water uptake, which can be
attributed that the smaller diameter of carbon fibers embedded the

voids between basalt fibers. Reducing environment alkalinity is also
beneficial for increasing the service life of C/BFRP, and the tensile
strength retention increased by 12% when pH decreased from 13 to
10 after 50-year.
Highlights
Carbon fiber coating is beneficial for improving the properties of
BFRP.
Carbon-basalt fiber interface is a weak part for the durability of

C/BFRP.
Reducing alkalinity can improve the durability of BFRP.
