STRUCTURAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR FRP BRIDGE DECKS

The utilization of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks has been increasing in recent years due to the several long-term benefits they offer over conventional materials such as steel and concrete. This paper briefly outlines the application of the concepts of "Structural Health in Civil Engineering" to FRP bridge decks. Specific attributes covered include structural properties, short- and long-term durability issues, and use of routine inspections for integrity evaluation.
