Flexible Configuration Steel Bailey Bridge Stable Structure High Strength

Introduction of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge And Platform

The Bailey platform is mainly composed of Bailey panel. A Bailey panel typically consists of upper and lower chords. The upper and lower chords are usually made of high - strength steel and play a crucial role in bearing axial tensile and compressive forces. Connected to the chords are vertical members and diagonal members. The vertical members are responsible for transmitting vertical forces, while the diagonal members help to resist shear forces and provide lateral stability, forming a stable truss structure.

Maintenance  of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge and Platform

• • The Bailey panels of the Bailey platform usually have anti-rust coatings. Regularly check the integrity of the coating. If peeling or scratching is found, repair it promptly. Use the same type of anti-rust paint for repair. Before repair, clean up the rust and dirt in the damaged area, and then apply the paint according to the paint usage instructions.

  • Depending on the environmental conditions and usage frequency, conduct a comprehensive recoating of the Bailey platform once every one to two years. Before coating, thoroughly clean and derust the Bailey panels. For example, use sandblasting derusting methods to make the surface of the Bailey panels meet the specified cleanliness and roughness       requirements to ensure the adhesion of the new coating.

     

     

Features of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge and Platform

• Piles play a crucial role in the structure of a trestle bridge. They are driven deep into the ground or seabed to provide a stable foundation. The type of piles used can vary, including steel pipe piles, concrete piles, or timber piles. Steel pipe piles are commonly used due to their high strength and ease of installation. The piles transfer the load of the bridge from the superstructure (beams, deck, etc.) to the underlying soil or rock layers, ensuring the stability of the bridge under different loading conditions such as the weight of vehicles, equipment, and materials.

Applications of Bailey Type Trestle Bridge and Platform

The Bailey platform has a wide range of applications. In building construction, it serves as a temporary working platform for supporting formwork, stacking building materials, or as a parking platform for construction equipment. In high - rise building construction, it can be used to build a cantilever - type working platform.

In bridge construction, it is a temporary support platform for the construction of cast - in - place girders. It can also be used as a temporary girder - transporting and - erecting platform during the erection of pre - cast girders.
