Application of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites to the Highway Infrastructure

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 503: Application of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites to the Highway Infrastructure includes a strategic plan for guiding the implementation of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in the highway infrastructure. The strategic plan contains 11 prioritized elements and is supplemented by white papers describing the state of the art of seven applications of FRP composite materials. The strategic plan and white papers provide a road map for the development of FRP specifications for bridges and other highway applications.
