Title: Development of FRP Design Guidelines for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
Accession Number: 01626795
Record Type: Component
Abstract: The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has begun using fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) for repair and retrofitting of pier caps, columns, and prestressed concrete girders. As WisDOT plans to make fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) a more common structural repair tool, formal policy relating to FRP design needed to be developed. To determine which of the available FRP design guidelines to adopt, a comparison of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and American Concrete Institute (ACI) FRP Design Guidelines was conducted for all common girder shapes and several material types found in Wisconsin. It was determined that the AASHTO guide produced more conservative results in shear but the ACI guide produced more conservative results in flexure. Based on a literature review, the experiences of other states as determined through a survey, and the results of the design guide comparison, recommendations for future policy are provided.
Supplemental Notes: This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AFF80 Standing Committee on Structural Fiber Reinforced Polymers.
