Out-Licensing Opportunities
Innovative Steel-Free Bridge Deck Design
University of Manitoba - July 7, 2008
Traditional bridge deck construction relying on steel-rebar reinforcement leaves the bridge subject to premature structural failure due to rebar corrosion. Polyethylene rebar coatings to overcome corrosion have shown limited potential. This novel approach uses fibre-reinforced polymers and combines it with innovative deck design principles to replace the function of steel rebar. Both the bridge deck and its beam supports employ this patented technology for a completely corrosion-free structure.
