What is FRP Deck Analysis for Truss Bridges about?

This document summarizes an analytical study of a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) deck installed on a truss bridge in New York to improve its load capacity. Finite element models were developed and validated based on load testing. The models were then used to analyze failure modes under overload and thermal conditions. Static overload analysis predicted failure of the FRP deck core at a wheel load index of 7, while the faceskins remained intact. Joint failure between deck panels was also identified as a pote
