The objective of the research was to identify what further research is needed to use larger FRP bars in waterline pile cap footings, develop material acceptance criteria and design specifications for No. 11 glass FRP bars, and create design examples to help implement these bars in practice. Additionally, the study provided recommendations for future research to support broader use of larger FRP bars in other structural components, considering the known limitations of GFRP compared to steel.
The durability of coastal bridge structures is significantly impacted by the corrosion of steel reinforcement, particularly in waterline pile cap foot
