To be cost effective, FRP decks are usually supported by steel girders.For the connection between FRP decks and steel girders, adhesive bonding technique is usually considered as a preferable connecting method, which can reduce construction time, save weight by eliminating fasteners, allow more uniform load transfer, achieve better adaption to the brittle and anisotropic nature of FRP materials and provide higher joint efficiency. Moisture dep...
