Title: Structural Field Testing and Evaluation of Two Demonstration FRP Deck Bridges: Case Studies on FRP Panel Deck Bridge and Temporary Bypass Bridge
Accession Number: 01124964
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: In the last decade, the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites technology has emerged as an option in structural engineering and has shown its potential for structural applications in bridges. FRP composite materials are appealing in that they are highly resistant to corrosion, have a low weight, and have a high tensile strength. This paper summarizes two projects, funded through the Federal Highway Administration’s Innovative Bridge Research and Construction program, that investigate the applicability and effectiveness of using FRP composites in bridge construction: (1) Bettendorf FRP panel deck bridge, the first FRP bridge deck in the US that uses composite action with prestressed concrete girders, and (2) FRP temporary bypass bridge, developed to replace existing steel temporary bridges. The paper presents structural field performance results for each demonstration project and for each bridge provides correlation of the performance with design parameters.
