Co-Principal Investigator:

• Brent Phares, bphares@iastate.edu (other projects)

Project Status: In Progress

Start Date: 09/01/2003
End Date: 08/31/2008


Research Objective: The performance evaluation will consist of both a laboratory and field component with most of the work focusing on the in-place performance. The lab testing will include controlled testing under simulated live loads. This testing will be completed to more fully understand the behavior of integrated FRP slab bridges.
