Fiber reinforced polymer composites in bridge industry

This paper presents a concise state-of-the-art review on the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) in bridge engineering. The is organized into commonly used FRP components, and different materials/manufacturing techniques for repairing construction bridges. Efforts have been made to give clear view bridges using most relevant literature. FRPs certain desired properties like high strength weight ratio, corrosion fatigue resistance that make them sustainable solution However, as are brittle susceptible damage, when safety concerned, critical parts hybrids conventional materials. Despite significant studies, it has found comprehensive effort still required better understanding long term performance end-of-life recycling, developing cost-effective flexible manufacturing processes such 3D printing, green composites take full advantages FRPs.
