• Abstract:
  Florida’s inventory of 148 moveable bridges is
  
  the largest in the nation. Most employ open grid
  
  steel decks, which have important advantages
  
  over solid bridge decks: they can be assembled in
  
  the factory, are lightweight and easy to install;
  
  however, they also have disadvantages, such as
  
  high maintenance costs and low skid resistance
  
  when worn. Also, they provide poor riding
  
  comfort and produce high noise levels. A possible
  
  alternative to steel are decks made of glass-fiber
  
  reinforced polymer (GFRP). These decks share
  
  steel’s ease of assembly and installation, are
  
  comparable in weight and dimensionality, but are
  
  more corrosion resistant
