A Review of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Bridges

Fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) offer various benefits for bridge construction. Lightweight, durability, design flexibility and fast erection in inaccessible areas are their unique selling points engineering. FRPs used four applications: (1) FRP rebars/tendons concrete; (2) repair strengthening of existing bridges; (3) new hybrid–FRP bridges with conventional materials (4) all–FRP composite made entirely materials. This paper reviews bridges, including bridges. bridges’ history, materials, processes components—deck, girder, truss, moulded parts cables/rebars considered. does not discuss the use as an architectural element a system. While lack codes, material specifications recycling major challenges, high cost still remains most critical barrier to progress
