Bridge of the Future
• Long life• Less $• Fast• Minimal maintenance• Shock resistant• Adaptable• (Reduced carbon footprint)
![Page 4: FRP Composites for Bridge Decks and Superstructures: State of the Practice in the U.S. Jerome S. OConnor, PE, F-ASCE MCEER Sr. Program Officer, Transportation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c3e5503460f948e9728/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Some Advantages
• Light weight (high strength-to-weight ratio)
• Corrosion resistant• Chemical resistant• High tensile strength• Fatigue resistant• Potential for good, consistent quality

History• 68% used IBRC or other special funding• ½ the projects were new construction• FRP decks were attached to steel stringers
(95%), concrete girders, FRP beams• Largest deck area = 11,970 SF• Highest traffic volume = 30,000 vpd• Cost per SF is 2 to 3 x cost concrete deck (>$75/SF)
– Low E leads to use of more material (and expense) just to meet deflection criteria.
• Weight can be 12-20 psf vs. >100 psf for concrete
![Page 11: FRP Composites for Bridge Decks and Superstructures: State of the Practice in the U.S. Jerome S. OConnor, PE, F-ASCE MCEER Sr. Program Officer, Transportation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c3e5503460f948e9728/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Design Considerations
• There is no AASHTO spec for FRP design• Design is deflection driven because of low stiffness
resulting from low E• Keep LL+DL stresses <20% of ultimate to avoid brittle
failure (although there may be pseudo-ductile behavior)
• Avoid creep by keeping DL stresses <10% of ult.• Provide UV protection• Think thru haunch & connection details• Thermal stresses can exceed LL stresses
