Abstract:

Inspections of tubular sign structures by the

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) have

revealed premature corrosion inside galvanized

steel tubes. Costs of installing and maintaining

these structures, interference with traffic from

these procedures, and delays for drivers have

moved FDOT engineers to seek alternative

materials, principally in the horizontal trusses. A

possibility is fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), which

has been applied in other areas of transportation

and could be useful in sign structures. To begin

investigating this option, FDOT commissioned a

literature review from University of North Florida

researchers to address the uses of FRP, its material

properties, and its economics.
