Many RCC bridge decks are showing the sign of distress due to corrosion of the reinforcements much before its design life span. Use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge deck structures is increasingly rapidly all over the world due to its many advantages over the conventional materials. The FRP bridge deck is lighter, durable, easy to work with, maintenance free and expected to have low life cycle cost. In this dissertation work, the structural behavior of FRP bridge deck structure is studied. FRP bridge deck is a sandwich structure. This configuration dramatically reduces the weight of the deck and also reduces the chances of possible modes of failure due to design loads.first and results obtained are compared with the work done by previous researchers. In all the cases the results obtained by the present FE model compared very well. As such the finite element model is based on ANSYS 16.0 is used to generate many new results for FRP bridge deck subjected to under Indian loading conditions (IRC). The present numerical study should be quite useful for further research and implementation of FRP bridge deck in India in near future.
