Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bridge in Huron County, Ohio
A Fiber Reinforced Polymer Honeycomb (FRPH) bridge was installed in Huron County, Ohio in August, 2008. The bridge has a span of approximately 17 ft (5.2 m) and is located on a low traffic volume rural road. This case study describes the design, fabrication, testing of a full-scale prototype bridge section, and commissioning testing of the bridge. A fiber reinforced polymer honeycomb (FRPH) sandwich panel was chosen for this superstructure replacement because it was strong and lightweight and the cost was defrayed by the FHWA Innovative Bridge Program. The bridge design incorporated AASHTO loads. The FRPH has a relatively low modulus of elasticity so deflection governed the design. Because each FRPH is unique, a full-scale prototype bridge panel was constructed alongside the actual bridge panels. The prototype panel was tested to destruction. The prototype results were used to establish panel behavior and modify the bridge panels. After installation of the bridge was completed, instrumentation was installed and truck tests were conducted to verify the stiffness.
