Rehabilitation of Steel Bridge Girders Using Advanced Composite Materials
The rehabilitation of steel bridges using advanced composite materials offers many advantages to bridge owners who are looking for feasible and cost-effective solutions for an increasing number of deficient bridges. A previous IDEA (Type 1) effort investigated the use of advanced composite materials to strengthen and stiffen steel bridges (NCHRP-93-ID011). This project resulted in the development of a selection process for adhesives that demonstrate durability under a variety of anticipated field conditions and the demonstration of repair schemes on steel girders taken out of service in Pennsylvania due to excessive corrosion. The rehabilitated beams were tested in the laboratory under service-load conditions. The tests showed that significant increases in strength and stiffness were realized with the composite repair.
