N2 - FRP material shows numerous advantages compared to traditional construction materials. It has a high strength to weight ratio, making the final structure lighter, easier to erect and reducing the cost. In order to promote the construction of safe structures with FRP in Europe, it becomes necessary to propose a European standard, providing a common approach for the design. The foundation for this new structural design code is the Technical Specification (CEN/TS) written by Working Group WG4 'Fibre Reinforced Polymers' under CEN Technical Committee 250 (CEN/TC250). The presented paper illustrates through a worked example how the Technical Specification document may be used in practice. In this example, Ultimate Limite State (ULS) verifications are performed for one span of a GFRP footbridge.
