| Abstract: |
This paper reports on the results of tests conducted to verify the applicability of bridge inspection way using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP). The process of setting the Japanese expressway standards for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge inspection way is also described in this paper. The proposed bridge inspection way adopts lightweight and highly anti-corrosive GFRP. The bridge inspection way consists of GFRP slab panels that sandwich hard urethane foam and truss girders that serve for railings to further reduce its own weight. Nippon Expressway Company Limited (NEXCO) have also established standards for FRP bridge inspection way installed on Japanese expressway bridges, based on the knowledge obtained from development of bridge inspection way, literature reviews and case studies in Japan. |
