| description abstract | The research presented in this paper evaluates the flexural performance of bridge deck panels reinforced with 2D fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) grids. Two different FRP grids were investigated, one reinforced with a hybrid of glass and carbon fibers and a second grid reinforced with carbon fibers only. Laboratory measured load-deflection, load-strain (reinforcement and concrete), cracking, and failure behavior are presented in detail. Conclusions regarding failure mode, limit-state strength, serviceability, and deflection compatibility relative to AASHTO mandated criteria are reported. Test results indicate that bridge decks reinforced with FRP grids will be controlled by serviceability limit state and not limit-state ultimate strength. The low axial stiffness of FRP results in large service load flexural deflections and reduced shear strength. In as much as serviceability limits design, overreinforcement is recommended to control deflection violation. Consequently, limit-state flexural strength will be compression controlled for which reduced service stresses or ACI unified compression failure strength reduction factors are recommended. | |
