ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF DEPLOYABLE BRIDGE BASED ON ORIGAMI SKILL

At the time of disasters like earthquake, flood and tsunami the road and bridges are the lifelines for rescue works. If the bridges are badly damaged or any of their span has been collapsed than the instant requirement will be generated to built the bridge. This requirement can be fulfilled by mobile bridge which can be transported to the site and can fill the gap. In this research we are analyzing the deployable type mobile bridge which can be folded and transported anywhere. We designed it for single way two lanes with IRC class A loading. 10m and 15m span is taken for analysis with different stage of opening for self weight and for full live load. All analysis has been carried out on STAAD PRO software. The bridge is designed for three different materials which are titanium, steel and aluminum. Different geometric angle for X members are used to determine most effective geometry. After analysis we can conclude that the 15m span with 45 degree is the most efficient in terms of deflection and titanium alloy is the most economical material for the use.
