## Description

- description: Recently, a hybrid composite cable has been developed for external
    strengthening of structures in seismically active zones, containing a novel thermoplastic
    epoxy matrix. While this resin has advantageous properties such as processability,
    the UV resistance for outdoor service conditions has not been studied. This paper
    examines the accelerated UV degradation behavior by using a xenon arc source,
    and reporting the changes in chemical structure and mechanical properties of both
    the resin and FRP rods. While the neat resin is susceptible to photo-oxidation
    and a sharp decline in strength, the hybrid FRP shows no significant changes in
    tensile properties even after nearly 2000 MJ/m2 of UV radiation (equivalent to
    seven years in Florida, USA). This was attributed to the fiber-dominant nature
    of unidirectional composites, further supported by a Curtin-type analytical model.
