4 FAQs about Collaboration on Ultra-Large Capacity Folding Containers for Bridges

What is a rigid-flexible composite folding floating bridge?

The main body of the new rigid-flexible composite folding floating bridge proposed in this paper is a three-layer structure consisting of a bridge deck, airbag, and water bag. The scheme adopts a longitudinal distribution of airbags and a staggered arrangement of the bridge deck and middle protruding airbags.

What are the design concepts for floating bridges?

Moan et al. [ 6] proposed three design concepts for floating bridges, including curved, end-anchored floating bridges; straight, side-anchored floating bridges with mooring systems; and floating suspension bridges with pylons supported by TLP or spar floating bodies.

What is the structure of a floating bridge?

The main structure of the floating bridge consists of three layers: the bridge deck, airbag, and water bag. The floating bridge units are connected by flexible connectors to allow for pre-connection and folding of the bridge, reducing storage and transportation space, and improving construction efficiency.

Can repositioning empty containers reduce the cost of hinterland transport?

Shintani et al. (2010) focused on three scenarios for repositioning empty containers with foldable and standard containers in a hinterland, and the results showed that using foldable containers could reduce the total management cost for hinterland transport compared with the use of standard containers.

Foldable Shipping Containers — Super Cubes
