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
