Fatigue analysis of concrete bridge deck slabs reinforced with E-glass/vinyl ester FRP reinforcing bars
FRP composites have been widely used as internal reinforcement for concrete bridge deck slabs. However, experimental researches on the behavior of such FRP-reinforced elements in general have been limited, especially those on fatigue performance. This research is designed to investigate the fatigue behavior of concrete bridge deck slabs reinforced with GFRP bars. A total of six full-size deck slabs were constructed and tested under concentrated cyclic loading conditions. Different reinforcement types, ratios, and configurations were used. Also, different schemes of cyclic loading were applied till failure. Finite element modeling was used to investigate the effect of different parameters on the ultimate static capacity. The results showed the superior fatigue performance and longer fatigue life of concrete bridge deck slabs reinforced with GFRP composite bars compared to the steel reinforced ones.
