The needs of expeditionary forces involve the use of light-weight, short-span bridges so that their transport by air would be possible. A project is currently being developed in USA aimed at the elaboration of a Composite Army Bridge (CAB) assault bridge and a Modular Composite Bridge - MCB logistic bridge. In 2004 CAB successfully underwent fatigue tests. A 14 m-long, all-composite treadway bridge span was loaded using an MLC 100 vehicle and it withstood 20 000 load cycles. The MCB will be constructed with 7 m of box modules and a 6.5 m access ramp. A 26 m-long and 4 m-wide bridge span is to provide the traffic ability of MLC 65. Furthermore, works on a 10 m-long, MLC 30 composite bridge are also developed in Canada. The paper presents also the American concept of employing a deployable bridge system utilising composite structure. In order to formwork and reinforce the plate, fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRP) were used. The girder structure is made of aluminium pipes forming diamond truss with curved bottom chord. After they are integrated in the structure, the top chord nodes are connected through concrete deck slab cast in-situ. The tests indicated that the use of polymer composites in military bridges and mobile structures are well justified.
