• Abstract:
  Five bridges were constructed utilizing UMaine’s hybrid composite arch technology as part of the Maine ; Department of Transportation’s Composites Initiative. Three were constructed in 2010, one in 2011 and the final ; one in 2012. The designs for each of the first four were completed in 2010 and the final design of the Grey’s Brook ; Bridge in Ellsworth, Maine (2012 construction) was completed in 2011 using lessons learned from the construction ; of the 2010 bridges. Highlights of the construction process, lessons learned, inspection observations, and load testing ; are presented in this report for the first four bridges (2010 and 2011 seasons).
