Twin-shaped Cfrp-sandwich Pedestrian Bridge
نویسندگان
چکیده
A concept of a nature-inspired pedestrian bridge which tries to merge architectural, structural and manufacturing aspects in an optimized way is presented. The 18.0-m-span bridge is designed as an overhead spatial frame of a complex double-curved shape, which is composed of twelve modules consisting of lightweight carbon fiberreinforced polymer (CFRP) sandwich construction. The modules are fabricated with only one mould through vacuum assisted resin infusion. The aimed visible texture and black colour of the CFRP fabrics represents an essential architectonical element. The resulting benefits and required compromises of this multi-criteria approach are discussed.

The use of heavier trucks demanded upgrading of a twenty-seven year old bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Analysis of the precast prestressed concrete girders using the current AASHTO Code indicates a deficiency in the shear capacity. Shear strengthening using Carbon Fibre R_einforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets provides a low-cost solution by increasing the speed of construction and reducing tra...
