The paper consists of three topics. First part presents results of investigation of 8 years old FRP truss footbridge working under static and dynamic loads. Second topic is devoted to ongoing research on joints of FRP pultruded profiles in bridge structure. Some kinds of mechanical and glued-mechanical connectors were tested in the laboratory and on real pedestrian bridge. The FEM models for verification are also presented. In the third part of paper, new build inclined steel arch footbridge with composite polymer curved in plane deck is shown. Main girder is filed partly with self-compacted concrete to fulfill dynamic comfort criteria for pedestrian bridges. Special attention is paid to dynamic analysis of the structure with taking into account the simulation of aerodynamic impact from lorries traveling under the bridge. Generally, the paper gives current state of art in design, construction and maintenance of FRP bridges in Poland. |
