Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials have emerged as an alternative material for producing reinforcing bars for concrete structures. GFRP reinforcing bars offer advantages over steel reinforcement due to their noncorrosive nature and nonconductive behavior. Due to other differences in the physical and mechanical behavior of GFRP materials as opposed to steel, unique guidance on the engineering and construction of concrete bridge decks reinforced with GFRP bars is needed. These guide specifications offer a description of the unique material properties of GFRP composite materials as well as provisions for the design and construction of concrete bridge decks and railings reinforced with GFRP reinforcing bars.

Genre: Bridge railings
ISBN:

An extensive effort has been made to develop longitudinal barriers capable of restraining and redirecting buses and large trucks. The results of 34 crash tests conducted using cars and mostly buses and trucks on 16 different longitudinal barriers were obtained from the references. Results of these crash tests are summarized. Theory and crash test results are presented to demonstrate the magnitude of the impact forces these longitudinal barriers must resist and how high they must be to prevent vehicle rollover.
