Development, assessment and implementation of a novel FRP composite girder bridge
Construction and Building Materials(2022)
Abstract
•New FRP composite girder developed for short and medium-span highway bridge applications.•Composite girder is lightweight, durable, and direct replacement for steel or concrete girders.•Heavily instrumented FPR girder tested to assess bending behavior.•New FRP girder-to-concrete-deck shear connector developed, tested for fatigue and strength resistance.•Field implementation of 22.9-m span bridge described along with results of field load tests.
