The Influence of the Environment for Glass-Reinforced Plastic Composite Material Used for Ground Water Transport Pipes
Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) composite materials are mainly used in the construction of pipes due to the wide range of sizes, ease of installation, adaptability to the specific situation in the field and, last but not least, the more competitive price as the nominal diameter increases. Their wide...

description | Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) composite materials are mainly used in the construction of pipes due to the wide range of sizes, ease of installation, adaptability to the specific situation in the field and, last but not least, the more competitive price as the nominal diameter increases. Their wide range of applications: drinking and raw water transport, sewerage, industrial waters, desalination plants, mining, etc., has led to the need to tailor the behaviour of the composite material to different fields, with pH values that are not neutral. Based on the experimental data, we aimed to study the change in the structure of the composite material as influenced by the soil characteristics: neutral, basic and acidic. In addition, starting with the pH of the three types of soil—basic, acidic and neutral—which significantly affect GRP composite materials, we calculated the pipe damage index and the Pearson correlation coefficients for axial tension. The results highlight the significant influence of the soil pH on the behaviour over time of the buried GRP pipes. Thus, laying the pipe in acidic soil significantly reduces its life, which should be taken into consideration during the design phase. |
