“…The unique properties of the FRPs are related to the structure of these advanced polymer composites. These are hybrid materials, which consist of two main components: the fibre (reinforcement) and the polymer (matrix) [2,[5][6][7]. The properties of the FRPs, especially resistance to electrochemical corrosion suggest their suitability for application into the building and engineering structures exposed to the action of the unfavourable environmental conditions [1].…”

The GFRP (Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymers) materials are characterized by good mechanical properties and very high corrosion resistance. Currently the GFRP profiles in the form of modular structural elements are used as so called decking systems. However, the last researches concern the possibility of using the modular FRP profiles as a stay-in-place (SIP) formwork. In this article the conception of the shape and cross-sectional dimensions selection of the FRP profile was attempted. The conception applies to the prototype of the GFRP profile, which is able to use as a self-supporting formwork in composite slab in building structures on floors or as the deck in composite bridge structures. On the basis of theoretical and practical studies available in the literature, the theoretical evaluation of the composite element were done.

By the start of the 21st century, the majority of the world’s population was living in cities. Therefore, a top priority has been solving the problem of connecting parts of the city divided by traffic infrastructure in the shortest possible manner by using pedestrian paths. The aim of this study was to analyze, systematize, and typologically define the specific types of structures that make this possible, specifically pedestrian bridges located above roads and railway corridors. The primary and secondary requirements that must be met when designing a pedestrian bridge were identified, and an analysis and comparison of examples of constructed pedestrian bridges in Croatia and the world are herein presented. The results of this study enable the conclusion that, in recent times, in the age of the spectacle society and spectacle architecture, pedestrian bridges are simultaneously deemed architecture, engineering, and infrastructure projects. They are becoming new elements in a city’s image and contribute to the creation of a new urban identity. The original design of pedestrian bridges fosters the use of different construction systems and materials in accordance with technical and technological advancements in construction.

Introduction. The susceptibility of traditional building materials to corrosion has a negative impact on the durability of bridge structures. The solution to the problem of bridge durability is the use of corrosion-resistant fiber-reinforced polymer composites as the main load-bearing elements of superstructures. The joint performance of composites and traditional building materials ensures the most efficient use of the strength potential. The purpose of the study is to unify the design of superstructures, having load-bearing elements made of fiber-reinforced polymer composites by applying a well-known design solution to typical lengths of superstructures to increase the competitiveness of hybrid structures. Materials and methods. Unified parameters of hybrid superstructures are determined. Unification is carried out through the calculation and design of each individual span size. Since the calculation pattern is identical for each structure, the same algorithm, developed by the authors, is employed to make calculations for each span length. The calculation of the roadway slab is performed using the engineering method of “the imprint”. Calculations of fiberglass elements of the main trusses are made using finite element models of hybrid superstructures with account taken of the characteristics of the materials used. Results. Calculations were made and four hybrid superstructures, having main load-bearing elements made of fiberglass, were designed; a well-known unified design pattern was implemented in the designed elements. The main performance indicators of unified superstructures are determined and compared with those of similar structures made of traditional building materials. Conclusions. A unified line of hybrid superstructures, having standard lengths, has been designed. Each has a set of structural drawings, which can be used both at the stage of the trial design of structures and at the stage of the project documentation development. Advantages of composite polymer materials, namely, their applicability in hard-to-reach areas of the country, are demonstrated.
