Brief description Next generation Floating Structures with High-Performance Composites. 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.
