In a project that developed a hybrid fibre reinforced polyme

In a project that developed a hybrid fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites girder for bridge engineering application. In this hybrid FRP girder, glass and carbon fibres are combined to produce the I-section. Where do you think the glass fibres are provided on the I-girder section?

Solution

One of the main reasons of using FRP is to prevent corrosion so that the structure is strong and durable. The glass fibres are used to replace the traditional mild steel reinforcement. So on the I-girder section, the glass fibres are provided on the flanges and the web.
