Floating bridges are temporary or permanent structures that utilize the buoyancy of water to resist loads imposed by traversing vehicles and can be used for emergency water crossings or during war. Due to the advent of heavier and faster vehicles, coupled with the dearth of analysis and design information on ribbon floating bridges, it is important to investigate the behaviour of these bridges under various vehicle crossing conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
