Recently inconvenience on the community due to infrastructure construction are required to minimize as much as possible. In order to construct temporary bridges quickly, we are considering using the double end plate connection utilized high strength bolted tensile joint. In the bolted tensile joint, it is desirable that the joint surface is flat and completely adhered by the load transmission mechanism. However, since it is a prerequisite to reuse a member of temporary bridges as temporary structures, there is concern that the joint surface may be deformed by repeated use. In this study, the bending strength and the behavior when filler plates were inserted on the double end plate connection was examined with FEM analysis.
