Abstract

In this study, the concept of the hybrid FRP-concrete design was exploited in a new type of bridge super-structure. The proposed bridge consists of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) box sections with a thin layer of concrete. This paper presents results from the experimental study on a scale bridge model as well as the finite element analyses. In the experiment, the scale model was subjected to quasi-static and fatigue loadings. The test results showed that the proposed bridge meets the stiffness requirement and has significant reserve strength. Stiffness degradation after 2 × 106 load cycles was found to be insignificant. The finite element analyses were able to accurately predict responses of the scale model under quasi-static loadings very well.
