Abstract:

The main goal of this research is to design a barrier with GFRP materials and compare it with steel. The MoDOT Type D concrete barrier with steel bar reinforcing forms the basis for the design. Constructability requirements are also considered, and these are related to the pragmatic elements of the building, like ease of installation, harmony with pre-existing buildings, and conformity to industry norms. These conditions must be met to guarantee that the GFRP components can be successfully integrated into the building project. The sizes and dimensions are modified in this design to conform to the characteristics of GFRP reinforcements. This reinforcement material swap aims to increase the resistance to corrosion-induced degradation and damage by utilizing the preservation qualities of GFRP materials.
