Modeling Structure of Portable River Bridge using Fiber – Reinforced Polymer (FRP)

Portable bridge is a device that serve to connect areas near the river to the opposite. The study of portable bridge based on marine buildings (platforms) about ballast system. This utilizes fluid from a constant river flow to meet the bridge ballast pipe with a normal flow control valve. The system was developed by installing a branch and flange on the main pipe as a regulator. A lightweight material chosen as the main material in the portable bridge is Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) based on ACI 440R-07 standard. Portable river bridge structure modeling is supported by 3D CAD software that focuses on building structures, especially in the main pipe and flange.. This model using main pipe 16”NPS Sch-STD Pipe based on ANSI/ASME B36.10M/19M 2004 standard and flange 16”NPS Weldneck Flange 300# RF Sch-STD based on ASME B16.5 Flanges standard
