POLİMER ESASLI KOMPOZİTLERİN İNŞAAT MÜHENDİSLİĞİNDE PERFORMANS, DAYANIKLILIK VE SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK ANALİZİ

Belkıs ELYİĞİT 1 , Cevdet Emin EKINCI2

Bu çalışma, polimer esaslı kompozit malzemelerin inşaat mühendisliğindeki kullanımını performans, dayanıklılık ve sürdürülebilirlik boyutları çerçevesinde kapsamlı biçimde incelemektedir. Geleneksel yapı malzemelerinde görülen korozyon, yorulma ve çevresel etkiler kaynaklı bozulmalar, altyapı sistemlerinin güvenliği ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirliği açısından önemli sorunlar oluşturmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, yüksek özgül mukavemet, düşük ağırlık, korozyon direnci ve tasarım esnekliği sağlayan fiber takviyeli polimer (FRP) kompozitler yenilikçi bir çözüm olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada, FRP sistemlerin mekanik özellikleri, çevresel koşullar altındaki uzun dönem davranışları ve servis ömrü performansları literatür verileri doğrultusunda analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca yaşam döngüsü maliyeti ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik kriterleri karşılaştırmalı olarak ele alınmıştır. Bulgular, başlangıç maliyetlerinin yüksek olmasına rağmen FRP kompozitlerin bakım ihtiyacını azaltarak uzun vadede ekonomik ve yapısal avantajlar sunduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, yangın dayanımı ve uzun süreli performans belirsizliklerinin geliştirilmesi gereken temel araştırma alanları olduğu belirlenmiştir.

PERFORMANCE, DURABILITY, AND SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS OF POLYMER-BASED COMPOSITES IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

Belkıs ELYİĞİT 1 , Cevdet Emin EKINCI2

This study comprehensively examines the use of polymer-based composite materials in civil engineering within the framework of performance, durability, and sustainability. Corrosion, fatigue, and environmentally induced deterioration commonly observed in conventional construction materials constitute significant challenges for the safety and economic sustainability of infrastructure systems. In this context, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, which provide high specific strength, low weight, superior corrosion resistance, and design flexibility, are considered an innovative alternative. The study analyzes the mechanical properties, long-term behavior under environmental conditions, and service-life performance of FRP systems based on findings reported in the literature. In addition, life-cycle cost and environmental sustainability criteria are comparatively evaluated. The findings indicate that although FRP composites involve relatively high initial costs, they offer substantial long-term economic and structural advantages by reducing maintenance requirements. However, limitations associated with fire resistance and uncertainties regarding long-term performance remain major research challenges that require further investigation.
