Parametric Study on Dynamic Response of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Bridges by Woraphot Prachasaree, Attapon Sangkaew, Suchart Limkatanyu, Hota V. S. GangaRao

“…Because of high strength and stiffness to low self-weight ratio and ease of field installation, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are gaining popularity as the materials of choice to replace deteriorated concrete bridge decks. FRP bridge deck systems with lower damping compared to conventional bridge decks can lead to higher amplitudes of vibration causing dynamically active bridge deck leading serviceability problems. …”
