Abstract
Chapters 16 and 17 discuss the development of the advanced polymer composite material applications in bridge engineering. They demonstrate the innovative types of components and structures which have been developed from FRP composite materials and the most advantageous way to employ composites in bridge engineering. Given the importance of bridge infrastructure, the discussion of this topic has been split over two chapters. This chapter focuses on the type of FRP composite materials used in bridge engineering, their in-service properties and their applications in bridge enclosures and the rehabilitation of reinforced and prestressed concrete bridge beams and columns. Chapter 17 covers rehabilitation of metallic bridge structures, all FRP composite bridges and bridges built with hybrid systems.
