Steel Construction Compact 200 Bailey Bridge Double Deck Q355B With Single Lane

Bailey Bridges Description:

Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated, truss bridge. It was developed in 1940–1941 by the British for military use during the Second World War and saw extensive use by British, Canadian and American military engineering units. A Bailey bridge has the advantages of requiring no special tools or heavy equipment to assemble. The wood and steel bridge elements were small and light enough to be carried in trucks and lifted into place by hand, without the use of a crane. The bridges were strong enough to carry tanks. Bailey bridges continue to be used extensively in civil engineering construction projects and to provide temporary crossings for pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

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.

 
Modular design: The Bailey bridge is composed of standardized, prefabricated components that can be easily transported and assembled on-site. These components include steel trusses, panels, and pins, which are connected together to form the bridge structure.

 
Bailey Bridges Advantage

Possessing the features of simple structure,
convenient transport, speedy erection
easy disassembling,
heavy loading capacity,
great stability and long fatigue life
being capable of an alternative span, loading capacity
 

Bailey Bridges Competitive Advantage:

Load-bearing capacity: Despite its relatively lightweight and modular construction, the Bailey bridge has a high load-bearing capacity. It can support heavy loads, including military vehicles and equipment. The load capacity is achieved through the use of trusses and girders that distribute the load across multiple members, ensuring structural integrity and safety.

Heavy loading capacity

Great stability

Long fatigue life

Light weight

Low cost

Easy and fast erection

Bailey Bridges Application

Beam bridge, arch bridge, rigid frame bridge, cable-stayed bridge, suspension bridge. passenger foot-bridge
Mixture form to erect all kinds of Bailey Bridges
Temporary Bridges, Emergency Bridges and Fixed Bridges.
Using the bridge equipment, the suspension bridges of varied span can be erected.

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.

The bridge has the advantages of few components, light weight and low cost.
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.
