• Sommario/riassunto: The book examines the use of glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) products to increase the strength of historic covered bridges in the United States. It also looks at ways to mask the use of the GFRP components, thereby maintaining the appearance of the bridges and keeping the historic structures in full service.
