Application of Fiber Reinforced Polymer in the Structure of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement

Abstract:

Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement is smooth and almost needs not maintenance, which has long service life as well as a great potential application. Fiber reinforced polymer as a new type of composite materials with high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance which substitutes conventional steel rebars gives solutions to the problems caused by corrosion of reinforcement. In this paper, combined with the excellent properties of FRP rebars, FRP-CRCP is introduced in detail from structural response analysis, structure design, construction and the function of self-monitoring. Moreover, it is pointed out the problem of the design index and standard for FRP-CRCP that still needs further research.
