Popis: Most rahmen-type temporary bridges are constructed with limited bridge length to prevent excessive horizontal forces due to the thermal expansion of main girder. To achieve a long length temporary bridge several independent bridges are required and they can not share the bents, at the rahmen-type ends, with the adjacent ones. The additional bents require more cost and reduce the section space under bridges. In order to remove extra bents with keeping the rahmen effect at the bridge ends, this study proposes a new rahmen-type movable joint system for temporary bridges.
