• Abstract:
  As part of the state of Maine bridge funding initiative, MaineDOT has partnered with the University of ; Maine’s AEWC Advanced Structures and Composite Center and the Maine composites industry to ; incorporate composite technologies into bridge construction and maintenance activities. The goal of the ; partnership is to utilize composite technology for bridge construction, bridge component parts, small ferry ; vessels and a number of other transportation applications, building on the knowledge gained through ; research projects. The partnership seeks to focus and accelerate the application of fiber reinforced ; polymer (FRP) composite technology to meet transportation project needs, and to play a role in assisting ; Maine’s composite industry. ; Composite materials are a construction technology that may provide an option in certain circumstances. ; This report concerns a pilot project where composite materials were used to re-line the invert of an ; existing steel corrugated culvert. The project was unique in that fish ladders and weirs were also designed ; into the project.
