Material and performance research on the FRP composite bridge girder

This paper is devoted to the use of FRP composites to built durable and reliable footbridges. The objective of this paper is to disseminate results of the research project for the development of the FRP based solution for pedestrian bridges. It shows material testing, planning design and FEM analysis of the proposed solution as well as model testing procedure to be undertaken for checking static and dynamic performance of FRP composite girder.
