Analysis of the Principle and Application for Deployable Bridge in Japan

Abstract

As a matter of fact, Japan’s early learning of bridge construction through the incorporation of Western knowledge influenced its subsequent industrial development and economic progress. Due to its earthquake-prone geographic location, Japan has conducted in-depth research on rapidly deployable foldable emergency bridges. This study focuses on the study of deployable folding bridges using the Japanese scissor-like structure. The results of the study analyze the facilities of the scissor-like structure and list some of the cutting-edge applications of the structure and the principles are also analyzed in terms of specific application scenarios. The advantages of deployable bridges are their emergency response capability and ease of transportation, as well as limitations such as susceptibility to weather and high economic costs. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current state of deployable contraction bridges and to consider future prospects based on cutting-edge technologies that will enable them to better utilize their advantages.
