FRP bridge decks offer several advantages compared with conventional concrete bridge decks, particularly their much lower weight, but also their resistance against corrosion as well as easier installation and maintenance. The poorly conceived methods avail ...
The in-plane tensile performance of a pultruded FRP bridge deck system was examined with regard to the use of the deck as the compositely acting top chord of hybrid bridge main girders in negative moment regions. The deck properties determined on the syste ...
The through-thickness performance of adhesive joints connecting pultruded FRP bridge decks and steel girders subjected to loading in the transverse bridge direction was investigated. Deck-to-girder adhesive joints can be assumed as being loaded by uplift f ...
The through-thickness performance of adhesive joints between pultruded FRP bridge decks and steel girders was investigated experimentally and numerically. Through- thickness tensile stresses occur due to uplift forces caused by the load-bearing behavior of ...
