摘要: |
An all-composite bridge, 9.14 m (30 ft) long and 2.74 m (9 ft) wide, has been designed and built. The bridge was constructed using pultruded glass and carbon tubes. The performance of pultruded tubes, tube assembly, and quarter portion of the bridge deck were evaluated. The fatigue test on a quarter portion of the bridge served as a simple baseline of the long-term durability of the composite deck. The sample showed almost no reduction in stiffness or strength after 2 million cycles of fatigue loading in excess of the design load. The bridge was installed at UMR campus on July 29,2000. The bridge is equipped with integral fiber optic sensors, and the response of the bridge will be remotely monitored. |
