An experimental study on two kinds of FRP bars in two high temperature solutions was conducted to investigate their corrosion resistant performance.Furthermore, it was also studied the mechanical properties degradation of BFRP bars within indoor concrete environment.Meanwhile, the water uptake and mass loss performance of BFRP bars in two temperatures and two solutions were studied.The results showed that the increase of temperature aggravated the degradation degree of the tensile strength of FRP bars;the corrosion degree of BFRP bar in alkali solution was much more severe than in water, and the indoor concrete environment would not damage BFRP bar.There was almost no degradation in two corrosive solutions for tensile strength of CFRP bars, but their elastic modulus degraded greater than BFRP tendons.The higher the temperature, the greater the moisture absorption rate of reinforcement, the one in alkali solution was greater than that in water;mass loss rate could characterize the degradation of FRP bars well.
