ABSTRACT
Based on research ‘ndings presented in previous chapters and Chen (2004), design guidelines are proposed in this chapter for all three bridge components: ‘ber-reinforced polymer (FRP) deck, shear connector, and bridge system. A design example is provided to illustrate the use of the proposed design guidelines. While the recommendations given for FRP decks are focused on a speci‘c sandwich panel, the guidelines for a shear connector and bridge system can be used for other types of FRP decks.
