摘要: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness and durability of GFRP bars as reinforcement for concrete decks. Today's rapid bridge deck deterioration is calling for a replacement for steel reinforcement. The advantages of GFRP such as its high tensile strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion make it an attractive alternative to steel. The first objective of this research was to perform live load testing on a bridge deck reinforced with GFRP in one span and steel in the other. The second objective was to perform live load tests on a slab reinforced with GFRP installed at a weigh station. Two live load tests were performed approximately five months apart. The third objective of this research was to investigate the long term behavior and durability of the GFRP reinforcing bars cast in a concrete deck. The strain gauges, vibrating wire gauges, and thermocouples in the bridge deck were monitored for approximately one year using a permanent data acquisition system.
