“…Also recently, Berg et al [5] suggested the use of FRP materials as reinforcements and stay-in-place formwork for a concrete highway bridge deck. The research project, supported by the Innovative Bridge Research and Construction Program (IBRC) in the United States, resulted in the construction of a two-span highway overpass on US Highway 151 in Wisconsin.…”

A simple and shear-flexible rectangular composite layered plate element and nonlinear finite element analysis procedures are developed in this paper for nonlinear analysis of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)-reinforced concrete slabs. The composite layered plate element is constructed based on Mindlin-Reissner plate theory and Timoshenko's composite beam functions, and transverse shear effects and membranebending coupling effects are accounted for. Both geometric nonlinearity and material nonlinearity of the materials, which incorporates tension, compression, tension stiffening and cracking of the concrete, are included in the new model. The developed element and the nonlinear finite element analysis procedures are validated by comparing the computed numerical results of numerical examples with those obtained from experimental investigations and from the commercial finite element analysis package ABAQUS. The element is then employed to investigate the nonlinear structural behavior and the cracking progress of a clamped two-way FRP-reinforced concrete slab. The influences of reinforcement with different materials, ratio and layout in tension or compressive regions on structural behavior of the clamped slabs are investigated by parametric studies.

“…The bridge deck ( Figure 7) is optimized over girder spacings of 1.8 and 2.7 m (6 and 9 ft), with 25 mm (1 in) cover for the DHFRP bars, placed in the top and bottom of the slab, as used in two FRPreinforced bridge decks built in Wisconsin [54,35]. Note that AASHTO GFRP [7] …”

Behnam, B., and Eamon, C. (2013). "Reliability-based design optimization of concrete flexural members reinforced with ductile FRP bars." Construction and Building Materials, 47, 942-950, doi: 10.1016Materials, 47, 942-950, doi: 10. /j.conbuildmat.2013 ABSTRACTIn recent years, ductile hybrid FRP (DHFRP) bars have been developed for use as tensile reinforcement. However, initial material costs regain high, and it is difficult to simultaneously meet strength, stiffness, ductility, and reliability demands. In this study, a reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is conducted to determine minimum cost DHFRP bar configurations while enforcing essential constraints. Applications for bridge decks and building beams are considered, with 2, 3, and 4-material bars. It was found that optimal bar configuration has little variation for the different applications, and that overall optimized bar cost decreased as the number of bar materials increased.
