Modular bridge
The apparatus 2 comprises at least two composite bridge modules, each formed from fibre reinforced polymer composites which comprise a fibre ply in a cured binder matrix. The apparatus may comprise a sensor 10 for sensing deformation of the modules, preferably with a plurality of sensors located as different locations on modules. The apparatus preferably comprises a plurality of ramp modules 4 and/or inter-ramp modules 6 with each module comprising sensors. The sensors are preferably embedded in, woven in or deposed on the fibre ply. The modules may comprise metal connectors bonded to the module by an adhesive or a hybrid joint which is integral to the fibre ply. The modules may comprise a metal road surface attached by an adhesive or a hybrid joint which is integral to the fibre ply. Each sensor is preferably arranged to be interrogated to obtain information and/or comprise an indicator. Also claimed is a method of managing a composite mobile bridge apparatus.
