The purpose of this study is to identify and address fatigue performance of an RP rebar reinforced concrete bridge deck in terms of its strength and serviceability performance. The above work is collaborated with laboratory tests on fatigue performance of concrete slabs reinforced with glass fiber reinforced plastic (RP) rebars. Results of this study are being used to design the first concrete bridge with RP rebars over Buffalo Creek at McKinleyville, Ohio and the bridge will be constructed in summer, 1995.
