Research on FRP decks for road bridge applications

The growing need of durability enhancement for road bridge decks has recently caused the big impulse for research on new, durable, lightweight and easy to handle bridge decks, made of advanced materials, f.e. FRP (fibre reinforced polymers). The initial results of research on the first Polish FRP b...
