Abstract:

The arch-shaped concrete filled fiber reinforced polymer tube bridges are being constructed throughout New

England and elsewhere. The composite system durability and maintenance requirements need to be evaluated. For

this study, an asymmetric hybrid carbon and E-glass fiber braided reinforced composite laminate was selected. This

material is representative of that used to fabricate the arches. The laminates were subjected to different

environmental conditions to assess durability. The factors investigated include resistance to: water, saltwater, dry

heat, alkali, freeze thaw, UV and gasoline. After exposure to these conditions coupons are tested in tension to

determine tensile strength and elastic properties. Most tensile properties retained at least 90% of the control values.

Water, saltwater, alkali and dry heat exposure are evaluated based on criteria set forth by AASHTO. It is found that

most conditions passed the acceptance criteria. Studies were also done on abrasion resistance and ignition resistance.

Tests for abrasion conclude that an additional abrasion protection layer would provide a significant increase in

performance.
