Abstract:The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) material in the construction of snow fences. FRP is a process where continuous glass-fiber strands are pulled through a thermosetting polyester resin (or /matrix) to form a composite. The main purpose of testing the FRP product is to determine its structural integrity based on MDT’s current snow fence design specifications, especially with the harsh climate these structures are subjected to in the state of Montana. In addition, this experiment was to compare a new design as submitted by the contractor. The modified design deleted the interior rear supports (Test Section 1 [TS1] vs. Test Section 2 [TS2]), as explained in the November 1999 construction report (document address located at the end of this report). As noted in the May 2001 report, TS2 was found collapsed, which was assumed a structural-related failure due to the three rear (sole) supports buckling or snapping in high winds.
