  12. FRPs for the structural engineer • Interest of the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) • Live load rating factor LLRF = ( C1R – C2D) / C3L • LLRF › 1 QS 660 satisfied • 0.85 ‹ LLRF ‹ 1 Legal load acceptable • Forbidden to overloaded trucks • Reinforcement recommended • LLRF ‹ 0.85  Legal load excessive • Reduced maximum load posted • Reinforcement compulsory

  13. FRPs for the structural engineer • Interest of the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) • Strengthen bridges for which LLRF < 0.85

  14. FRPs for the structural engineer • Interest of the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) • Observation • Bridge condition directly related to its LLRF • Bridge in good condition FCS  • Bridge in poor condition FCS  • Search for a demonstration project • Identify a bridge in need of reinforcement (FCS < 1), representative of a large number of existing bridges, and with a concrete surface condition that would allow easy installation of FRPs

  15. FRPs for the structural engineer • Interest of the Ministère des Transports du Québec (MTQ) • Evaluate FRPs as strengthening method • Aim at33 % of cost of new construction • Accessibility to majority of contractors • Minimal technical training for installation/supervision • Design methods available to design engineers

  16. Ste-Émélie de l'Énergie Bridge • Bridge description • Location :Sainte-Émélie-de-l’Énergie, QC • Original construction: 1951 • Length: 21.3 m (70 ft.) • Total width: 11.2 m; 2 traffic lanes: 9.1 m wide • Original design load - H20 truck load • New design load - QS660, CSA Standard S6-88 • Need to increase flexural capacity by 35% • Need to increase shear capacity by 20%
