DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IN-SERVICE PERFORMANCE MONITORING OF A CFRP REINFORCED HPC BRIDGE DECK

This paper describes the measured structural behavior of an in-service cast-in-place bridge deck reinforced with a rigid carbon fiber reinforced polymer grid. The bridge is located in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, and has a 33.5 m simple span. The superstructure consists of high performance concrete (HPC) prestressed girders acting compositely with an HPC deck. Since opening to traffic in December 2000, the deck and girders have been under constant real-time performance monitoring using fiber optic strain sensors. Results from controlled diagnostic load testing and long-term behavior observations are presented.
