| Abstract: | This report describes the installation and testing of a fiber-reinforced polymer composite highway bridge located in Butler County, Ohio. The bridge was designed to meet AASHTO HS-20 load requirements based on strength and maximum deflection. The installation demonstrated fiber-reinforced polymer composite highway bridges could be installed in significantly less time than a traditional reinforced concrete bridge. When fully loaded the bridge deflected less than the maximum AASHTO HS-20 deflection values. |
