PGA Presents: 8th International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures


Our Structures Group Manager, Joe Losaria, PE, recently presented (virtually) at the 8th International Conference on Advanced Composite Materials in Bridges and Structures. Joe’s presentation was a collaboration with FDOT staff and Owens Corning. Their paper provides a case study for one of PGA’s bridge projects, US 41 over North Creek in Sarasota and its effective use of innovative carbon- and glass-fiber reinforced polymers. We're still waiting for the full presentation to be made available, but in the meantime you can glean some of their key findings in the abstract here.
