Recently the temporary emergency bridge has been developed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to minimize disaster damage. The temporary emergency bridge is limited to traffic of emergency vehicles only and be erected within 72 hours called for criteria of lifesaving in time of disaster. On the other hand, temporary work girdersis often used in construction work, and it is expected that temporary work girders will be utilized as the temporary emergency bridge. In this study, for the purpose of shortening construction time, we propose to use a tensile joint for temporary works girders. As a result, it is confirmed that the proposed tensile joint has sufficient rigidity. We also examined the design method.
