Case Study
Post-Tensioned, Fiber-Reinforced, Precast Bridge Deck
Campbell Scientific equipment used to evaluate new bridge deck materials Post-Tensioned, Fiber-Reinforced, Precast Bridge Deck The Utah Department of Transportation is investigating the effect on the life span of bridges of using rods made of glass- fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) in bridge decks. The GFRP rods resist corrosion by deicing salts, and so may extend the lifespan of the deck from 45 to 100 years. Corrosion resistance is the big
