Research Status of FRP-Concrete Composite Beam/Bridge Deck Systems

Abstract:

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) has widely used in civil engineering due to their high strength-to-weight, high stiffness-to-weight ratios, and corrosion resistance. To solve the corrosion of the reinforcing steel in the bridge engineering and reduce the initial cost, FRP-concrete composite structure has been considered as the most effective composite form. A detailed research status survey of FRP-concrete composite beam/deck systems and their construction applications in civil engineering is presented. Several problems in future research are put forward.
