Maximum Dynamic-Load Allowance of Bridge with GFRP-Reinforced Concrete Deck
The 26.87-m, single-span Beaver Creek Bridge on U.S. Highway 6 in Utah was built in 2009. Elements of the bridge included AASHTO Type IV prestressed concrete girders and posttensioned, full-depth, precast concrete deck panels reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. The bridge was given three static and five dynamic truck load–controlled tests before it was opened to traffic. Vertical acceleration data was also collected from random truck traffic. Dynamic truck load data was used to verify a finite element model and obtain dynamic load allowance (DLA) values. DLA was determined to be a function of the number of axles, axle group weight, and axle spacing. The maximum DLA for the bridge with a GFRP-reinforced concrete deck was found to be less than the value specified in the AASHTP LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.
