| Abstrakt: |
The city of Rotterdam has fully embraced Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP), otherwise known as composites, as building material and uses it extensively for city wide bridge replacements. Over ninety bridge have been realised. FRP has reduced the costs of ownership for asset managers and significantly improved on building nuisance. As a front runner with the application of composites Rotterdam has gained valuable experience on how to deal with a new upcoming market and a material which has not yet earned its place among conventional building materials. |
