AASHTO has released a second edition of the LRFD Bridge Design Guide Specifications for GFRP-Reinforced Concrete. Developed by the AASHTO Committee on Bridges and Structures, these design guide specifications offer a description of the unique material properties of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite materials, as well as provisions for the design and construction of concrete bridge decks and railings reinforced with GFRP reinforcing bars. The revised edition includes information on the advancements in material specifications, and new knowledge and field experiences beyond bridge decks and traffic railings.
