Long-term pressurizing of buried glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) pipe will result in the reduction of stiffness in the pipes.It leads to excessive deflections in long-term design limits.In situ tests were performed for 664 days to measure deflections of buried GFRP pipe with a large diameter of 2,400 mm.Based on the field test results, finite
