Analytical model for fiber reinforced plastic decks considering pultruded rectangular module is researched. Study for analytical model that is simplified and proved has been rarely studied until now. In generally, analysis for FRP deck is used commercial finite element programs to find mechanical behavior however, These programs are required a considerable amount of computational time and cost. Thus, to indicate structural behavior efficiently, It is necessary to develope analytical model. Thus, in this paper, theoretical and analytical plate model using classical laminated theory and first order shear deformable theory is developed and through the comparison with commercial finite element program(ABAQUS), It is verified that the developed analytical model has a good applicability and accuracy.
