Several transportation departments bear high maintenance expenditure during restoration required for bridge decks due to corrosion induced deterioration. The damage of RCC bridges due to corrosion requires expensive maintenance during the service life of bridges. A possible answer to save such expenditures is the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) rebars in the bridge decks. These FRP rebars are unaffected by corrosion, and they have superior strength. Though numerous experimental studies are available for RCC reinforced with GFRP reinforcement, but very few field applications of RCC bridge deck reinforced with GFRP rebars are found. In this study, a RCC bridge deck slab reinforced with GFRP reinforcement is designed using ACI 440.1R-15 and the slab is then analyzed in Ansys static structural module and the outcomes are presented in this paper. Pedestrian crowd loading is considered as per IRC 6 for design of the deck slab. The virtual model thus prepared can be customized for respective dimension of bridge and for different loads condition. This design of deck slab has been proposed having clear roadway width between the parapets as 2.3 m to facilitate ease of commuting over a canal for pedestrians and bicyclists and two-wheelers only.
