 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The seminar report on “Bridge Strengthening Advanced Composite System By

Using FRP(Fiber Reinforced Polymers Composites)” is the outcome of guidance,
moral support and devotion bestowed on me throughout my work. For this I
acknowledge and express my profound sense
of gratitude and thanks to my guide Prof. Sandesh Huggi acknowledge that I have
learnt the importance of technical research and good presentation skills.

I feel deeply indebted to our H.O.D. Dr. R.S.Laddimath for the constant support and
encouragement in all my endeavors. The academic ambience has helped us to excel in
my academics.

I take this opportunity offer our sincere thanks with to our beloved Principal Dr. S. G.
Joshi who is always keen on enhancing the quality of teaching-learning and always a
source of inspiration to us. I would like to thank our Dean Academics Dr. Manu T.
M for his constant encouragement for our academic progress.

I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to seminar coordinator Prof.

D.R.Kulkarni for dedicating time to arrange for critical evaluations that helped for
proper flow of seminar work.

Last but not the least, I would like to thank my parents and friends for their well wishes
for my success.

 ABSTRACT

This Seminar presents one bridge which were either rehabilitated or

strengthened by using FRP composites.The resulting structure was then
tested for the effect after using FRP composites for Rehabilitation and
strengthening. In this paper, Structural Health Monitoring basics are
covered and need for SHM in future in or India scenario. Use of FRP
composites in Rehabilitation and Strengthening of structures is becoming
increasingly popular and is opening new possibilities in construction and
rehabilitation of structures.
The economics of roadways, and their variability in demand, favor
construction of multi-layered and inter-connected networks. Different
network layers are designed to different standards and to perform
somewhat different functions, though all provide the common function of
mobility for a reasonably homogeneous class of vehicles.Yet interfaces
have been constructed to provide a smooth transition between network
layers, with little delay and inconvenience to travelers.
This project has investigated interfaces between an automated
highway network layer and city streets. The report investigates two aspects
of AHS entrance and exit: (1) organization of vehicles into platoons, with
the objective of facilitating exits, and (2) physical design of highways to
enable entrance and exit.
With respect to the former, analyses were completed for sorting
vehicles into platoons according to destination, first when sorting occurs
at the entrance, and second when sorting also occurs on the highway. With
respect to the latter, analyses were completed for the effects of
entrance/exit separation, and case studies were examined for the design of
entrances and exits.
