The durability and creep deformation of the FRP composite are the key factors that decide their applicability as a load-bearing structural element. Many studies reported that the FRPs could withstand extreme climatic conditions and be subject to sustained/cyclic loading when used as a structural element. Therefore, creating an FRP composite with a long service life is a top priority for engineers, scientists, and designers. The long-term service life of FRP materials under varied service life conditions has been the subject of extensive studies{\^A} published to date. The important research findings on the creep and durability of FRP materials are compiled in this chapter. {\^A}{\copyright} 2024 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.}, author = {Lal, H.
