In this article, an investigation into the shear properties of bi‐directional carbon fibre reinforced composite has been carried out by ‘rail‐shear’ test method (D4255). The specimens were tested under various adverse environmental conditions after subjecting them to different durations of exposure. A comparison between time‐dependent degradation of the shear properties of the material with respect to virgin shear properties is made, and the results have been analysed with emphasis on material weight gain or loss under those adverse environments.
