Patent

CA 2569814

A bridge deck panel connection system is provided. The system comprises means for connecting a composite wood-glass fibre reinforced polymer bridge deck panel to an underlying bridge substructure. The means comprises an anchor that extends from the panel; securing means which engage the anchor; and, a fibre-reinforced epoxy mat that is disposable between the deck panel and substructure. The mat has been cured to a degree sufficient to bear a stress resulting from the panel being secured to the substructure, and is allowed to cure finally in its stressed state. The system also comprises means for connecting adjacent deck panels, which comprises a lateral anchor that extends from the connecting side of the deck panel and overlaps with a lateral anchor of the adjacent panel; a non-shrinking binder for filling the overlap between the adjacent panels; and respective surface adhering glass fibre reinforced aprons that span the overlap.
