FRP deck for long span bridges

摘要

A FIBRE reinforced plastic (FRP) deck for use on long span bridges has been developed by US company Composite Advantage LLC (CA).The decks are a sandwich construction of fibreglass facing skins and a fibre reinforced core of redundant shear webs in both longitudinal and transverse bridge directions. A wide range of design options can be incorporated eliminating the need for costly tooling which can constrain deck panel dimensions.
