Hybrid glass-basalt fiber reinforced polymer pipes for prefabricated construction in temperate and arctic environments: A review

The object of research is prefabricated building structures and the potential application of hybrid glass-basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (HGBFRP) composite pipes as an alternative material for prefabricated structural elements in temperate and Arctic environments. The study focuses on the mechanical performance, durability, behavior under extreme temperatures and suitability of HGBFRP pipes for integration into prefabrication technologies. Method. A comprehensive review and analysis of existing research on HGBFRP pipes was conducted, emphasizing their mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, strength-to-weight ratio, and performance across diverse climatic conditions. The review also examined how HGBFRP pipes work with prefabrication methods and looked at advances in manufacturing technologies to assess their potential for cost-effective production and widespread adoption. Results show that HGBFRP pipes have high mechanical performance, excellent durability, and reliable behavior under extreme temperatures, making them a promising material for precast construction. Their compatibility with prefabrication methods suggests potential for more efficient and sustainable construction practices. The combination of strength, durability, and performance in harsh conditions highlights their suitability for Arctic and temperate climates. Future research will focus on evaluating long-term performance in natural conditions and exploring innovative applications in the construction industry.
