ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: As an emerging material in construction fields, FRP(fiber reinforced polymer) has been used for its light weight and high strength. One of the major parts of its usage is the bridge constructions in civil engineering. There is already a pedestrian bridge (Aberfeldy, Scotland 1992) that all parts of the bridge including cables are made by FRP components. Since then, many FRP composite decks were developed and installed in US, Europe and other countries. A Korean company also developed a deck system (Delta tech) recently.
