The Bailey System


Bailey bridges are built on site from a pre-engineered system of ready-to-assemble components. Utilizing standardized prefabricated components, Bailey bridges can be built to match a wide range of vehicular bridging applications. Because of their excellent versatility and overall value, thousands of Bailey bridges have been installed throughout the world.

Features


1? Adaptable - pre-engineered to match each application
2??Fast - modular stocked components, open to traffic in days
3? Lower Cost - an alternative to custom designed bridges
4? Easy - to handle, transport, assemble, install and reuse

Variable Configuration


Bailey bridge components can be assembled in seven different configurations to efficiently accommodate a wide range of span and capacity requirements. Panels, the primary Bailey components, are pinned together at the job site to make girders of any length. Various girder strengths are achieved by assembling either a single row of panels, or two or three rows side-by-side. Panels may also be stacked in double-story height for further increase strength. For greatest strength, longer spans may be chord-reinforced.

Introduction

?

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

possessing the features of simple structure, convenient transport, speedy erection and easy disassembling, while having the advantage of heavy loading capacity, great stability and long fatigue

life being capable of an alternative span, loading capacity and mixture form to erect all kinds of

Temporary Bridges, Emergency Bridges and Fixed Bridges. Using the bridge equipment, the

suspension bridges of varied span can be erected. 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.

The compact 200 panel bridge: The compact 200 panel bridge is similar to the compact 100 panel

bridge from their appearance. The difference is its increased panel height to 2.134m. It employed the

method of alternating joints between Reinforcement Chords and the joints between panels. This

method can decrease inelastic deformation caused by the oversized pinholes.

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.
