Abstract
The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites technology has emerged as an option in structural engineering and has shown its potential for structural applications in bridges. FRP composite materials are appealing in that they are highly resistant to corrosion, have a low weight, and have a high tensile strength. This report summarizes a project funded through the Federal Highway Administration’s Innovative Bridge Research and Construction program that investigate the applicability and effectiveness of using FRP composites in bridge construction. A temporary FRP bypass bridge was designed and developed to replace existing steel temporary bridge with the Iowa Department of Transportation.
