摘要: Inspections of tubular sign structures by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) have revealed premature corrosion inside galvanized steel tubes. Costs of installing and maintaining these structures, interference with traffic from these procedures, and delays for drivers have moved FDOT engineers to seek alternative materials, principally in the horizontal trusses. A possibility is fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), which has been applied in other areas of transportation and could be useful in sign structures. To begin investigating this option, FDOT commissioned a literature review from University of North Florida researchers to address the uses of FRP, its material properties, and its economics.
