RAPID CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE BRIDGE DECK USING PREFABRICATED FRP REINFORCEMENT

development of durable structural systems for accelerated bridge construction is key to reducing the economic and social costs associated with replacement operations on a large scale. This paper reports on the field application of stay-in-place reinforcing panels, entirely made of glass fiber reinforced polymer components and specifically developed for the rapid construction of concrete bridge decks. The salient features of the system are...
