Masteroppgave bygg BYG500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 This thesis is addressing the possibility for use of fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) in bridge constructions in Norway. The aim is to design an FRP section that can perform as both structural support and decking on the bridge, in a similar way as often is done with concrete. The advances of using FRP composites is that it is possible to make the bridge sections a lot lighter, and consequently possible to fabricate them in remote locations and transport them to the construction site. This will make the time necessary for construction on site a lot shorter in cases where old bridges need replacement. To make FRP-composite bridges economic…
