Use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers in Bridge Comstruction
1 Introduction and Background
Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) have been applied in a variety of ways in bridge construction because of the many advantages they offer. They are used as reinforcing bars for concrete, in all possible shapes of prestressing members (internal prestressing in concrete and external prestressing for new bridges and for strengthening purposes, stay cables, cables for suspension bridges, ground anchors, etc.), as strips and sheets for strengthening, as beams sections or in the form of trusses and as bridge deck slabs both for repair work and for new bridges.
