Abstract:

Advanced composites, particularly fiber-reinforced polymers, have received considerable attention from bridge owners over the last few years, as cost-effective, durable alternatives to such conventional structural materials as steel and concrete. Last year, New York started taking advantage of these materials for cost-effective bridge rehabilitation. Three projects have now been completed, with bridge structures instrumented for long-term monitoring of their performance and durability.
