Abstract:

Highway bridges in the US are quickly becoming deficient due to increasing traffic volumes, rapid

deterioration, extended service life, and increasing load requirements. Repair or replacement of deficient

structures is expensive, time and labor intensive, and typically results in lengthy road closures during

construction. Researchers at the University of Maine’s AEWC Advanced Structures & Composites Center

have developed a lightweight, corrosion resistant system for short to medium span bridge construction

using FRP composite arch tubes that act as reinforcement and formwork for cast-in-place concrete. They

are lightweight, easily transportable, rapidly deployable and do not require the heavy equipment or large

crews needed to handle the weight of traditional construction materials.

This report describes the design, construction and testing of the Neal Bridge in Pittsfield Maine, the first

FRP arch bridge.
