摘要: Tech 21 is the third all-composite vehicular bridge installed in United States. The deck has sandwich configuration with a center core made by bonding orthotropic fiberglass and polyester tubes. three trapezoidal beams supporting were fabricated using E-glass fibers resin. Each beam was as an integral unit its section to facilitate transportation site, erection, construction. two-lane first fully instrumented bridge, including extensive health-monitoring system during fabrication. A nearly four-year long continuous monitoring carried out demonstrate performance of bridge. Field monitored information studied evaluate behavior durability composites harsh infrastructure environment. This evaluation determines level confidence long-term field benefits composite materials technology.
