Project Brief www .geocomp.com Asset Management State-wide Bridge Monitoring Program using iSiteCentral GIS Background & Project Challenges Through research and development efforts, Lawrence Technological University and the Michigan Department of Transportation (DOT) have been developing and implementing the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer materials for major bridge components. Current uses include carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) post-tensioning cables and barrier walls, carbon fiber composite cable (CFCC) for transverse post-tensioning, and new fiber composite material for reinforcing concrete (NEFMAC) grid reinforcement for bridge decks. These new materials help combat the effects of steel reinforcement corrosion, provide long-term durability of bridge structures,
