DESIGN-CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE STREET BRIDGE - FIRST CFRP BRIDGE IN THE UNITED STATES
The design, fabrication and erection - and the research leading up to this cutting-edge technological achievement in civil engineering - are presented as well as the long term monitoring program and ongoing research that will continue. The Bridge Street Bridge in Southfield, Michigan, is the first vehicular concrete bridge ever built in the United States that uses carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) material as the principal structural reinforcement. The project consists of two parallel bridges over the Rouge River in the City of Southfield. Both structures use three skewed spans, each over 62 m (204 ft) long, to carry vehicular traffic.
