All Composite Bridge Sidewalk. National Cooperative Highway Research Program
The objective of this effort was to design and develop a lightweight, corrosion free, cantilevered composite sidewalk system for roadway bridges. The composite sidewalk system consists entirely of fiber composite materials and will have a great impact on the current practice of installing bridge sidewalk systems by lowering installation and maintenance costs, improving worker safety, and by eliminating corrosion and the environmental impact of painting. The system has a single molded component for cantilevered support. Validation of the design was performed through the use of static and creep tests, which were performed at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). Finally, plans are currently in progress to implement the composite sidewalk system on a bridge in Colchester, VT.
