Mechanical Behaviour and Durability of FRP-to-steel Adhesively-bonded Joints

During the last two decades, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks have been increasingly used as a competitive alternative for wood, concrete and orthotropic steel decks, due to their various advantages: light-weight, good corrosion resistance, low maintenance cost and rapid installation for minimizing the traffic disturbing time. These advantages meet critical needs for rehabilitation and new construction of pedestrian and highway...
