FRP Bridge Vacuum Infusion Method
A bridge that is resistant to salt damage, lightweight, high-strength, and does not decay.
Vacuum Infusion The entire glass fiber mat layered on the mold is covered with a film and sealed, creating a complete vacuum state by removing the air from the glass fiber layer. Next, using the power of the vacuum, polyester resin is injected into the glass fiber layer, ensuring it spreads evenly to create a uniform and strong FRP laminate. This manufacturing method is referred to as "Vacuum Infusion (VI)." This technique is also used in the production of large blades for wind turbines and yacht hulls. Laminates produced using this method are used in the structural components of FRP bridges. The high glass fiber content allows for lightweight and strong laminates, and there is the advantage of being able to produce very large laminate sheets. The shape of the mold can be freely designed, whether flat or curved, enabling the creation of elegantly shaped bridge girders.
