FRP composites
Composite materials consist of two or more distinct physical phases
The fibres are dispersed in a continuous matrix phase
Materials: fibres (carbon, aramid or basalt), matrices (polyester, vynilester, phenolics and epoxy)
Background
First European FRP vehicular bridges:
Pumacon bridge (Spain 2004)
M111 bridge (Spain 2008)
Challenges
Cost reduction:
labour
material
energy
manufacturing
transport
assembly
Challenge
The main objective is to develop a cost-effective integrated construction process that will enable the maximum capability of industrialisation of components for transport infrastructures using FRP composite materials.
Objectives
Innovative conceptual model for composite components covering among others:
material engineering and components design
off-site manufacturing facilities and processes
intelligent logistics
on-site assembly and disassembly
procurement (public and private)
knowledge management
Objectives
Catalogue of FRP road infrastructure elements and quick plug-in joint solutions between them.
Off-site industrialisation process based on Innovative machinery, ICT tools and robotics.
On-site assembly methods based on RFID, intelligent positioning systems, ICT’s and robotics.
Objectives
Software platform for holistic management, design, simulation, visualization and knowledge management of the process.
Recommendations for standardisation of FRP components.
Demonstration of the flexible industrialisation system through real scale bridge build up.
