FRP Constituents Functions
•   Main functions of the Resin:
        •   Transfers stresses between fibers
        •   Provides lateral support against buckling
        •   Protects fibers from mechanical and environmental
            damage


    –   Thermoset Resins are typically used:
        •   Heat cured vinyl ester
        •   Irreversible process
        •   Cannot be deformed upon curing

Key features
FRP composites is a great solution to the
problems associated with the aging infrastructure
of Canada for the following reasons:
– Corrosion resistance :
   • Reduce repair and maintenance cost.
   • Enhance life duration of a concrete structure.
   • Help obtain better life cycle cost.
– Electromagnetic Neutrality :
   • Do not bloc radio waves.
   • Will not interfere with radar waves.
   • Will ease communications through the structure (mobile phone).
Key features
•   FRP composites is a great solution to the problems associated with the
    aging infrastructure of Canada for the following reasons:

     – Low density :
         • Saves on transportation costs.
         • Easier and faster construction with less workers and equipment.

     – Excellent electrical isolation properties :
         • Resistance to electrochemical corrosion (no galvanic corrosion).

     – Fabrication versatility of FRP allows the geometry, strength, stiffness,
       and durability characteristics of the member to be tailored for each
       particular application.

CASE STUDY


• TITLE : COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT HIGHWAY
      BRIDGEDECK REINFORCEMENT DESIGNS.

• COMPARISON OF INITIAL COST.
CASE STUDY
• There is considerable differences in mechanical
  properties of different FRP rebar mainly in their modulus
  of elasticity.
• Could these differences in the GFRP mechanical
  properties affect the design of concrete deck slabs?
• Could the design of concrete bridge deck slabs using
  GFRP bars with superior mechanical properties result in
  reducing the required reinforcement consequently saving
  the cost.
• How these design compare to designs made with other
  so called corrosive resistant material ; galvanized steel
  and epoxy coated steel.
CASE STUDY
• This study aims to answer these questions by
  designing a typical slab-on-girder concrete
  bridge deck using four different types of
  reinforcement bars with different mechanical
  properties.
• One recently constructed concrete bridge deck
  reinforced with FRP bars (Melbourne Bridge) is
  taken as an example in the design.
• The Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code,
  CHBDC (CAN/CSA-S6-00, 2000) and the
  updated version were used to conduct this
  design (New Code, CHBDC 2005).
CASE STUDY
• The bridge is a girder type consisting of four prestressed concrete
  girders (Type NETB) continuously supported over three spans with
  a total length of 89.420 m.
• The deck is a 200-mm thickness concrete slab.
• The deck has overhangs of 1.52 m on each side.

CASE STUDY


• TITLE : COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT DESIGNS
            SEAWALL SLAB REINFORCEMENT.

• COMPARISON OF INITIAL COST.
CASE STUDY
• This study aims at comparing design
  differences for a seawall slab with different
  types of reinforcement bars.
• It uses a slab design we recently worked
  on as an example.
• The ISIS Canada Guidelines as well as
  the CAN/CSA-S806 Code were used to
  conduct this design.
RESULTS

  • 38. CASE STUDY • TITLE : COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT HIGHWAY BRIDGEDECK REINFORCEMENT DESIGNS. • COMPARISON OF INITIAL COST.
  • 39. CASE STUDY • There is considerable differences in mechanical properties of different FRP rebar mainly in their modulus of elasticity. • Could these differences in the GFRP mechanical properties affect the design of concrete deck slabs? • Could the design of concrete bridge deck slabs using GFRP bars with superior mechanical properties result in reducing the required reinforcement consequently saving the cost. • How these design compare to designs made with other so called corrosive resistant material ; galvanized steel and epoxy coated steel.
  • 40. CASE STUDY • This study aims to answer these questions by designing a typical slab-on-girder concrete bridge deck using four different types of reinforcement bars with different mechanical properties. • One recently constructed concrete bridge deck reinforced with FRP bars (Melbourne Bridge) is taken as an example in the design. • The Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code, CHBDC (CAN/CSA-S6-00, 2000) and the updated version were used to conduct this design (New Code, CHBDC 2005).
  • 41. CASE STUDY • The bridge is a girder type consisting of four prestressed concrete girders (Type NETB) continuously supported over three spans with a total length of 89.420 m. • The deck is a 200-mm thickness concrete slab. • The deck has overhangs of 1.52 m on each side.
