USE OF EXTERNALLY BONDED FRP SYSTEMS FOR REHABILITATION OF BRIDGES IN WESTERN CANADA. IN: FIELD APPLICATIONS OF FRP REINFORCEMENT: CASE STUDIES

Four recent field applications of externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for rehabilitation of bridges in western Canada are reviewed in this paper. For the rehabilitation projects described, the ease of handling of the CFRP materials resulted in reduced construction time, when compared with conventional repair techniques. For the three heavily used highway bridges, at least one lane of traffic remained open at all times during the construction. The four projects described in this paper demonstrate a successful transfer of ISIS technology into practice in Western Canada.
