Abstract

Khyber Bridge, known as one of the longest floating military bridges in the world, is made of sustainable materials against bombing. A number of army engineers and some others from Jihad Sazandegui were dispatched to the southern Iranian regions in 1984, and held a meeting aimed at building a bridge over Hoor Al-Azim. To build this floating bridge, all materials such as wood, metal, fiberglass and air blowing methods were discussed. Finally, a combination of fiberglass and foam was selected, due to the fact that they were suitable for filling the cracks in the joints caused by welding. Given that Kheibar Bridge is a masterpiece of engineering built in the situation full of all types of shortcomings and sanctions, it is necessary to study it to benefit from its valuable experiences; Therefore, this study dealt with the necessity of its construction and its method of construction first, and then, assessed its strengths and weaknesses.
