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.
