Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the structural performance of a bridge constructed with FRP deck panels that carries the 53rd Avenue extension over Crow Creek in Bettendorf, Iowa. To assess how the FRP panel deck behaves under actual bridge loading, field data were obtained from a long-term monitoring system and two short-term live load tests. This report summarizes the instrumentation, the test protocols, and the test results from this study. In addition and where applicable, the test results are compared with measured conventional-deck field behavior and empirical design assumptions.
