The Foundation Function Of Bailey Steel Bridge Pier Platform

The foundation function of bailey steel pier is mainly to transfer the load and the self-weight of the pier to the foundation safely and reliably. Specifically, the bridge pier supports the adjacent two-hole bridge span, which is located in the middle of the whole bridge, while the abutment is located at both ends of the whole bridge, its front end supports the bridge span, the rear end connects with the roadbed, and the roadbed fills the bridge span and connects the bridge span with the roadbed
In addition, the piers and abutments of bailey steel bridge mainly adopt the vertical cantilever bar pattern with fixed lower end, and the main loads to be borne include the dead load of the bridge span, the weight of the train, centrifugal force, braking force and the wind force acting on the bridge span and the train.
In general, the foundation role of bailey steel pier is to ensure the stability and safety of the bridge structure, to withstand various external loads and to maintain the normal use of the Bere steel bridge.
