Experimental Verification of Applying Active Control Method as Virtual Support for Relief Bridge by Ming-Hsiang Shih, Wen-Pei Sung

“…When natural disasters cause bridges to collapse, the delivery of rescue equipment and supplies to remote disaster areas is impeded and disaster relief efforts are thus delayed. In this study, to enhance and improve light bridges for disaster relief, a neutral equilibrium mechanism (NEM) is proposed to adjust the internal force of the bridge and reduce the deformation of the bridge. …”
