Experimental Study on Static Performance of Deployable Bridge Based on Cable-Strengthened Scissor Structures

The deployable bridge based on scissor structures is one of the effective methods to quickly restore traffic after natural and man-made disasters. Scissor structures have the advantages of high storage rate, lightweight, and convenient storage and transportation. However, when scissor structures are...
