Trilateral Design and Test Code for Military Bridging and Gap-Crossing Equipment

Abstract

Bridging and gap-crossing equipment will be designed to meet the user's requirement by applying the necessary loading conditions, design parameters, and testing given in this TDTC. The TDTC lists the material properties required and gives the basic properties for materials generally used. The TDTC also gives design data for guidance and checking, but the criteria are that the equipment pass the requisite tests, meet the user's requirement, and can be manufactured readily. Equipment designed and tested in one country in accordance with this TDTC will be suitable for international acceptance, apart from user or troop trials.
