Advanced composite materials for bridge structures are
recognized as a promising alternative to conventional construction
materials such as steel.
After an introductory overview and an assessment of the
characteristics of bonds between composites and quasi-brittle
structures, "Advanced Composites in Bridge Construction and Repair"
reviews the use of advanced composites in the design and
construction of bridges, including damage identification and the
use of large rupture strain fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
composites. The second part of the book presents key applications
of FRP composites in bridge construction and repair, including the
use of all-composite superstructures for accelerated bridge
construction, engineered cementitious composites for bridge decks,
carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites for cable-stayed bridges
and for repair of deteriorated bridge substructures, and finally
the use of FRP composites in the sustainable replacement of ageing
bridge superstructures.
"Advanced Composites in Bridge Construction and Repair" is a
technical guide for engineering professionals requiring an
understanding of the use of composite materials in bridge
construction.

composites in bridge construction and repairSummarizes key recent
research in the suitability of advanced composite materials for
bridge structures as an alternative to conventional construction
