The following paper discusses the design of the pedestrian bridge made of laminar material FRP (fiber reinforced polymer). FRP has a potential to be consistently used in the construction sector, however, to be used as a bearing material in the responsible structures, its behavior has to be properly analyzed. In our article we try to address the question of FRP performance in terms of mechanical behavior for the use in pedestrian bridges. We have created 4 options of the FRP bridge deck. Each option consists of 4 layers of FRP with different angle or rotation of the plies: 1 unidirectional and 3 cross-plied quasi-isotropic. With the use of ABAQUS software we have tested the mechanical behavior of each option comparing them to the reinforced concrete deck. Each FRP showed better mechanical behavior in terms of vertical deflection by 20% on average in comparison to the reinforced concrete deck. Additionally, we have checked the von Mises stress in the material and normal stresses distribution along the deck thickness. The digital monitoring of the structural elements made of innovative construction materials is as well discussed.
