AEWC has worked extensively over a period of years developing models and design specifications for FRP-glulam bridges; evaluating the durability of FRP-glulam bridges through material level and full scale testing; and constructing, evaluating and monitoring FRP-glulam bridges. 

AEWC has designed and monitored over 20 demonstration bridges and piers; three of which have won national awards for their innovative features. See Bridge Demonstrations for more information about these bridges.
