Bridge Deck Slabs with Non-metallic Reinforcement

The intended outcome is a research report for use by local authority bridge engineers, the Highways Agency and others in repairing bridge decks using fibre reinforced polymers in place of steel bars when strengthening concrete bridges, offering better resistance to corrosion.

Steering Group

Graeme Brown, Albert Daly
