Abstract:In the literature survey of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) grid reinforced concrete
structures, a limited number of studies were found on FRP grid stiffened concrete slabs
in bridge deck applications and other non-structural applications in buildings. No open
publications were found that focused on link-slab for deck joint applications. In the
material and specimen tests, the focus was on manufacturing and testing the structural
behavior and physical properties of two types of FRP grid reinforced concrete slabs,
control concrete slabs, and FRP slabs. Finally, the focus was on evaluating the
structural behavior of the link-slab simulating the actual structural conditions through
full-scale testing and numerical simulation using finite element analysis. This study
lays a solid basis for field-level applications of FRP grid reinforced concrete link-slab
for jointless bridge deck design.
