Abstract:

Since 1996, over 30 Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite bridges have been installed ; in the United States. Bridge locations are in Kansas, Missouri, New York, Iowa, Colorado, West ; Virginia, Ohio, California, Idaho, Washington, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, North ; Carolina and South Carolina. ; Compared to traditional steel and concrete bridge structures, the FRP panel shows several ; significant advantages: reduced weight, higher strength, better corrosion resistance and quicker ; installation. However, FRP materials exhibit different physical properties. As such, a composite ; bridge would demonstrate different deformation and failure patterns than a traditional bridge. ; During the past years, much experimental research has been conducted to investigate FRP bridge ; deck performance. Most experiments divide into two types: 1) static and fatigue tests in the ; laboratory and 2) real traffic load tests in the field. These experimental results, as well as FEM ; analytical results, have served as baseline data for FRP bridge deck design.
