• Abstract:
  The proposed project is to take advantage of some new developments in bridge engineering to apply fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) post-tensioning strands on a selected structure. The use of externally post-tensioned FRP strands to repair/strengthen bridges and fiber optic sensor (FOS) systems is envisioned in this study. The ultimate objective is to take advantage of promising FRP materials to develop a more durable, lower maintenance intensive bridge system to save the limited budget for other urgent needs of the transportation infrastructure system.
