Abstract
<p>This paper presents three options to replace a fatigue damaged steel deck with an infusion Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) deck. Current traffic loading is now heavier than in the 1970’s, so a deck sensitive to fatigue loading will be controlled by a more onerous loading regime. The project task is to replace the original damaged steel deck with a lighter deck and thereby relieve the main girders. The additional benefits of substituting the damaged steel deck is, that the original deck will not have to be repaired and also the FRP deck has lower stresses than the steel deck so therefore less fatigue sensitive.</p>
