| Abstract: | Abstract: Cyclic loading and weathering of reinforced concrete bridge decks causes corrosion of reinforcement steel, which leads to cracking, potholes, and other problems. Under the Department of Defense Corrosion Prevention and Control Program (Project F09-AR16), a deteriorated concrete bridge at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, was selected to demonstrate and validate a glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite deck system, which does not use any reinforcement steel. The results of that project were published as ERDC/CERL TR-16-6 (August 2016). Upon completion of the new GFRP composite deck system, Bridge Diagnostics, Inc. (BDI) was contracted to perform load testing to confirm that the bridge meets the structure’s original 36-ton (HS-20) load rating and performance criteria for deflection and strain. This report documents the load test methods used by BDI and the results. The test results indicate that the demonstrated GFRP composite deck system met the strength design specifications and passed the deflection criteria. |
