description abstract | Because of the short construction season and cold winters in Alaska, the prestressed concrete decked bulb-tee bridge system is very popular. However, the concrete deck is an integral part of the bridge superstructure and cannot be easily replaced when it deteriorates. Obviously, there is merit in combining durable “premanufactured” fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite deck with stiffer prestressed concrete girders in cold regions. However, the effects of long-term exposure to extreme temperature variations and various moisture conditions typical of cold regions on the performance of FRP composite materials are not fully understood. This paper summarizes the combined effect of low-temperature and deformation strain levels on the longitudinal modulus of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) samples. The modulus of elasticity of GFRP laminate coupons was tested at various temperatures down to −31 °F | |
