Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the position of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) on the flexure strength of the complex of FRC and hybrid composite resin. The complex of FRC and hybrid composite resin was fabricated with three different FRC positions : upper FRC position, central FRC position, and lower FRC position. The complex of FRC and hybrid composite resin was used as a sample in this study, and the stress value was calculated by a three-point bending test. The lower FRC position showed a significantly higher flexure strength (p<0.01) compared with those of the upper FRC and central FRC positions. There was no significant difference between the upper FRC position and the central FRC position. It was shown that it is desirable to set the FRC position lower when applying FRC to a bridge.
