SED 7 (print) Use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers in Bridge Construction

Use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers in Bridge Construction, edited by Thomas Keller, published in 2003. The aim of the present Structural Engineering Document, a state-of-the-art report, is to review the progress made worldwide in the use of fibre reinforced polymers as structural components in bridges until the end of the year 2000. Due to their advantageous material properties such as high specific strength, a large tolerance for frost and de-icing salts and, furthermore, short installation times with minimum traffic interference, fibre reinforced polymers have matured to become valuable alternative building materials for bridge structures.
