Load-Carrying Capacity of Bailey Bridge in Civil Applications

The paper presents an extensive study aimed to determine the applicability of demountable Bailey bridge (BB) system on construction sites or in other temporary conditions while meeting regulations for design and assessment steel bridges. analysis is focused whether what extent BB with spans between 12 36 m usable on-site freight transport conventional lorries a total weight up 22–28 tons. At same time, within these should be utilized vehicles 32–40 To calculate load-carrying capacity, spatial numerical models were analysed using FEM procedures actual codes utilized. In case main girders, out-of-plane stability their compressed chords. Recommendations use this different arrangements girder deck are then summarized discussed.
