Development of lightweight FRP bridge deck designs and evaluations
… study was to develop and analyze lightweight FRP bridge decks and determine their adequacy under AASHTO's HS25 loading case with minimum stringer spacings of five feet. Two different multicellular decks were designed and tested during this study. Both decks had fiber volume fractions of …

Finite-element modeling of a composite bridge deck
Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials are being widely used for structural applications, an example being bridge decks. In this study a finite-element model using the software ANSYS is developed for an 8&inches;-thick low-profile FRP bridge deck (Prodeck 8) made of E-glass fiber and Polyester …
