Test and evaluation plan for the composite bridge
Polymer matrix composites (PMC) are entering the nation`s infrastructure as alternatives to conventional materials. Working with the Federal Highway Administration and Department of Energy, the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory is testing and evaluating a PMC structure for use in bridge rehabilitation and replacement. A 30-foot PMC bridge, designed and built by Lockheed Martin Missile and Space, will be field tested in Idaho. The design of this bridge represents simple support bridges in the 120-foot span category. This report describes the construction, transportation, installation, testing, and material properties for this PMC structure.
