| Abstract: |
Low maintenance and low self-weight are two of the most important advantages of using fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) as structural material for bridges in general, and movable bridges in particular. These advantages count in both new-built and refurbishment projects. In the last few years, a variety of such structures has been constructed, enabling to compare the different typologies, their experiences and an outlook on how FRP can best be used to further employ its full potential. |
