Introduction of Bailey Bridge Pier

Bailey bridge pier serve as the support structures that hold up the bridge deck and transfer the weight of the bridge and any loads crossing it down to the ground or riverbed below. 

Bailey bridge pier is typically made up of the following main components:

Trestle Legs: The vertical legs that rest on the ground or riverbed and support the weight of the bridge. These legs are usually made of steel or aluminum.

Transom Beams: Horizontal beams that span between the trestle legs, creating a support frame.

Sway Bracing: Diagonal bracing members that connect the trestle legs to provide lateral stability.

Base Plates: Steel plates that distribute the weight of the trestle legs over a larger area at the base, preventing excessive sinking into soft ground.

The pier of HD321 Bailey pier adopts 1m truss and HD321 Bailey panel standard truss as the foundation components to form square column pier. The top support of the pier is composed of beam staggered connection, and the space bar structure is connected between the pier. Adopting such a structural form is easy to meet the scale requirements of the structure, improve the adaptability of the pier structure, and give full play to the strength of materials. Increase structural stability.

Key features of Bailey bridge pier:

Modular and Portable Design:

The piers are made up of standardized, pre-fabricated components

These components can be rapidly assembled and disassembled on-site

This allows the bridge to be quickly deployed and then removed when no longer needed
