Field Implementation of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Deck Panels
The Missouri Department of Transportation has released a report that examines a prototype fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) deck panel that incorporates polyurethane foam in an attempt to reduce the initial costs. The research develops the design methodology and construction details necessary to implement the FRP deck panels on an actual bridge, addressing issues such as panel-to-panel connections, panel-to-girder connections, bridge skew, roadway crown, overlay materials, bridge guardrail attachment, and deck drainage.
