Short Course: Composites for Hydraulic Structures (PIANC WG 191)
Hydraulic composite structures manufactured using primarily glass fabrics and vinyl ester resins are competitive on economic first cost with their steel counterparts, but do not suffer the same long-term degradation mechanisms in immersion service. A few technical barriers remain that inhibit widespread implementation of composites in marine infrastructure. This course provides a venue for participants to learn about, discuss, and get hands-on exposure to the use of composites for waterborne transportation infrastructure.
