The state-of-the-art review of hybrid GFRP-concrete systems for bridge decks is presented in this study. Previous research on the experimental work, analytical modeling, and field application on hybrid GFRP-concrete deck systems are presented, along with a variety of deck systems are discussed. Then, seven typical types of connection technology between FRP and concrete are introduced and compared. Besides, the current progress on the performance of shear connections via beam tests, pushout tests, and pullout tests are probed, respectively. Finally, general conclusions are made, identifying the need for future research.

The use of corrosion free fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as reinforcement to concrete is currently being seen as a promising option to generate durable concrete structures. However, there exists very little credible information about its field application and performance. This paper describes the Joffre Bridge project, in Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada), over the St-François River, where Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) was used as reinforcement for a portion of the concrete deck slab. The bridge consists of five longitudinal spans with lengths varying from 26 to 37 m. Each span has a concrete deck supported by five steel girders at 3.7 m. A part of the concrete deck slab (7.3 × 11.5 m) and a portion of the traffic barrier and the sidewalk were reinforced with Carbon (CFRP) and Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement. The bridge was extensively instrumented with many different types of gauges, including integrated fibre optic sensors (FOS) into FRP reinforcement. The performance of the bridge had been assessed under static and dynamic loading using calibrated heavy trucks. Moreover, structural design and construction details of the bridge and instrumentation were performed. The results from calibrated field tests on the bridge are presented in this paper.Key words: concrete bridge deck, FRP reinforcement, fibre optic sensors (FOS), field calibrated tests, performance monitoring.

This paper presents the investigation of sustained stress level in GFRP bar used as main reinforcement in typical reinforced concrete bridge deck, which is often subject to severe environmental exposures in North America. AASHTO LFRD approach is used for the design of GFRP RC deck that also meets with the requirements per as specified in ACI 440.1R-06. Research results show that the sustained stress level in GFRP bar varies in the range of approx. 3% -7% for bridge deck with various deck thickness and girder spacing.

This paper describes the structural forms for hybrid FRP-concrete highway bridge deck. This bridge deck is applid in a project, which involved the implement of FRP-concrete deck over prestress concrete girders. In this project three forms of FRP reinforcing were combined to reinforce the concrete deck. This paper introduced another stiffened FRP deck panels connecte with the FRP composite girders in the steel-free FRP-composite modular bridge system. It is shown that the combination of FRP meterial and concrete for bridge deck is recommended in the design of highway bridge.
