Pedestrian steel arch bridge with composite polymer deck and CFRP stays

A Review of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bridges

“…The deck is curved with an 80 m radius and the walkway is made of pultruded FRP profiles. The footbridge is supported on spot footing and the main arch is supported on prefabricated reinforced concrete piles [23]. 19).…”

“…The deck is curved with an 80 m radius and the walkway is made of pultruded FRP profiles. The footbridge is supported on spot footing and the main arch is supported on prefabricated reinforced concrete piles [23]. The use of the largest FRP profile as a deck on Moss Canal Bridge, Rochdale, UK was a step change for FRP bridges in 2011.…”

“…Polyester surface veils are used for protection and finishing [92]. Examples of pultruded elements in bridges include Aberfeldy Footbridge, Scotland [4,34,38,40], Bonds Mill Lift Bridge, UK [8,40,43], Pontresina Truss Footbridge, Switzerland [36,47,48], St Austell Railway Bridge, UK [26,56,57], Dawlish Footbridge, UK [60], Dover Sea Wall Footbridge, UK [8], Standen Hey Overbridge, UK using a double layer of ASSET profiles [26], G ądki Footbridge, Poland [23], Moss Canal Bridge, UK [72] and many other bridges presented in Section 2.…”

“…New hybrid-FRP bridges with conventional materials and all-FRP composite new bridges made entirely of FRP materials are not discussed in this book. Research papers are also available on specific bridge components or areas: highway decksmost of them dormant now [9,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25], railway applications [26], girders [27] tendons [28,29] and cables [30][31][32][33]. From 2000 to 2010, a few review papers were written on all-FRP and hybrid-FRP bridges [4,[34][35][36].…”
