Abstract If FRP materials that have been known as high durability materials are exposed to harmful environmental factors, deterioration and characteristics of materials can be reduced due to chemical reaction such as hydrolysis. Therefore, to use FRP materials as building major materials, it is important to exactly grasp dynamic properties by use condition. Accordingly, this study stored FRP materials in a strong acid and alkali compound solution for a certain period to conduct simulation for acute or chronic, extreme changes by chemicals, and conducted a test for compressive, tensile, shear and bending strength to analyze changes in strength by kinds and storage days of chemicals. In conclusion, the study findings indicate excellent chemical resistance of FRP materials.
