Side‐by‐side long‐term performance assessment of GFRP‐ and steel‐reinforced concrete bridge decks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 7968-7992, October 2026.
Abstract The corrosion‐induced deterioration of steel‐reinforced bridge decks is a service life concern, especially in cold regions, where the use of deicing chemicals is common. To address this issue, glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has received growing attention, owing to the GFRP's resistance to conventional corrosion.
