Abstract:

This paper presents a cable stay bridge with a deck, entirely constructed from Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP). FRP materials are normally chosen because they are low maintenance, but heavy material like reinforced concrete are prone to maintenance issues as well as light steel structure systems (or a combination of both these materials). FRP is an upcoming material, and has the best properties of both new and traditional materials. On the basis of a preliminary design of a typical cable stayed bridge, this paper demonstrates that an FRP deck is possible.
