4 scOpe and apprOach A holistic endeavor was made to collect information relevant to the study subject. Although the scope of this topic is relatively broad, the following topics are expounded upon in this report: • FRP materials in highway infrastructure: fundamental characteristics and engineering properties of commercially available FRP composites are discussed in tandem with material composition, constituent fibers and resins, comparison with conventional construction materials, and macroscopic constitutive behavior.

6 • State-of-the-art of FRP composites in highway infrastructure: in accordance with an extensive review of published literature, various technical aspects associated with FRP applications are presented. Specific applications are elaborated on with discussions on FRP-reinforced concrete, FRP-prestressed concrete, FRP-strengthened concrete, FRP decks, FRP stay-in-place members, life-cycle cost analysis, and constructability.
