2019.07.10

The Bailey panel is made of high-strength steel and is made of light weight and standardized truss unit components and beams, longitudinal beams, bridge decks, bridge seats and connecting parts. It can be quickly assembled on site to suit various spans and loads with special installation equipment. Truss girder bridge.

    In the Second World War, it was used extensively in the battlefields of Europe and the Far East to repair bridges or set up temporary bridges. After the war, the Bailey Bridge was improved and turned into civilian use. The improved version of the United States is called the Akroger Construction Bridge.

China's highway department adopts 16Mn steel design and is named Bailey Bridge (also known as assembled highway steel bridge). A set of equipment can erect a single lane bridge with 9, 12, 15 ... 60, 63 meters span, through the car 10t , the load of the car 15t, the car 20t, the track 50t, the trailer 80t.

    Such bridge members are also used in large quantities as construction supports or towers. Due to the large span problem (more than 63 meters) and the two-lane long-span problem in use, the experts have also developed the Model 450, which can reach a single span of 91 meters.

    Do you think that assembled steel bridges and steel bridges are a concept?

    No. In fact, you who have such an idea are very wrong in concept!

    In many places, the Bailey Bridge and the fabricated steel bridge are confused. It is even considered that the Bailey Bridge and the Steel Bridge are the same product.

    In reality, the steel bridge is not equal to the Bailey Bridge, but includes the Bailey Bridge, which is a type of Bailey Bridge.

The steel bridge is defined by the manufacturing material. The main feature of the Bailey Bridge is modularity, while the steel bridge has a wider range. From the literal understanding, the bridge can be said to be a steel structure. . But the Bailey Bridge is more typical and the application is also wide.

    Relatively speaking, the term "assembled steel bridge" is closer to the original meaning of the Bailey Bridge, and it can be said that it is another meaning to explain what is the Bailey Bridge.
