HD200 Bailey Bridge Double Rows Single Layer Reinforced (DSR) Double Lanes

Bailey Bridges 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 Specifications:

Each unit constructed in this fashion creates a single 10-foot-long (3.0 m) section of bridge, with a 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) roadbed. After one section is complete it is typically pushed forward over rollers on the bridgehead, and another section built behind it. The two are then connected together with pins pounded into holes in the corners of the panels.

Bailey Bridges Introduction

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

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 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.


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.
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.

Bailey Bridges Competitive Advantage:

Heavy loading capacity

Great stability

Long fatigue life

Light weight

Low cost

Easy and fast erection
