USE OF CARBON FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC (CFRP) COMPOSITES WITH HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE IN BRIDGES
Four one-third scale experimental models of a modified double-Tee concrete girder bridge system utilizing carbon fiber reinforcing rods and prestressing strands were constructed and tested in order to determine their performance under various loading conditions. The combination of composite materials with high-strength concrete in the proposed bridge system has the potential to solve corrosion and construction problems associated with conventional bridges.
