Sumario:This paper presents the main information about the brazilian army’s military bridges and the Pultruded Fiber Reinforced Polymer (pFRP) bridges developed around the world. Besides, presents the procedures for the assembly and static structural tests of a scaled model brazilian Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) bridge, wich project has been made for support emmergency situations. Lastly, it compares some assembly aspects and resistance capacity between FRP and military bridges, indicating several advantages, especially regarding transportation and mounting in the field.
