Abstract:A number of researchers have addressed the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) deck as a replacement solution for deteriorated bridge decks made of traditional materials. The use of new, advanced materials such as FRP is advantageous when the bridge is load-rated and much of the weight of the superstructure can be reduced with installation of a new deck without replacing the beams thus providing a quick and economical solution. Studies have shown that the use of fiberglass decks can reduce the life cycle cost of a bridge from 10% to 30% over the design life of the bridge, due to less traffic impact during construction and reduction in maintenance (e.g., corrosion resistance). These advantages were a motivation for this study of the use of FRP as a possible solution for the replacement of deteriorated bridge decks.
