Dynamic performance of a vehicular bridge with lightweight FRP composite structural elements

Dynamic performance of a vehicular bridge with lightweight FRP composite structural elements

The lightweight nature and low stiffness of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) structures combined with low material damping may lead to excessive structural vibration and may increase the dynamic amplification of deformations and stresses in FRP bridge structures. The paper provides a short review on d...
