Bailey Bridges Introduction

Bailey Bridge is a standard bridge equipment, adopted extensively and the most popular in the world.

Bailey Bridges Features

1. High strength and big stiffness, relative to the concrete bridge can be reduced trabecular high and self-respect
2. Due to the steel isotropic, quality of a material is uniform and modulus of elasticity, that make steel bridge in the working condition and calculation compared with the assumption
3. Bailey bridge generally prefabricated in factory, site assembled by pins and bolts; the construction period is short, processing convenient and not affected by seasonal effect.
4. Bailey bridge is suitable for industrialized manufacture and very convenient to transport.
5. Bailey bridge is easy to repair and replace, long lifetime, material can be recycled.

Mixture form to erect all kinds of Bailey Bridges

Pre-arch method is used to additionally cut down mid-span and vertical deflection to a larger degree.
Bolt-connected components use the orienting sleeve- fixing method to increase accuracy of connections. Shear is created in orienting sleeves and tension is developed in bolts, which increase the usage life of the bolts and ensure the safety of panel bridges. Wind resistant brace is made to be composite type and is connected to transom/girders to improve overall stability of panel bridges.

Bailey Bridge requires no special tools or heavy equipment for construction, the bridge elements are small enough to be carried in, and the bridge is strong enough to carry. It is considered a great example of military engineering.

Bailey Bridges Application
 

The success of the Bailey bridge was due to the simplicity of the fabrication and assembly of its modular components, combined with the ability to erect and deploy sections with a minimum of assistance from heavy equipment. Many previous designs for military bridges required cranes to lift the pre-assembled bridge and lower it into place. The Bailey parts were made of standard steel alloys, and were simple enough that parts made at a number of different factories were interchangeable. Each individual part could be carried by a small number of men, enabling army engineers to move more easily and quickly, in preparing the way for troops and materiel advancing behind them. The modular design allowed engineers to build each bridge to be as long and as strong as needed, doubling or tripling the supportive side panels, or on the roadbed sections.
