When Constructing A Bailey Bridge, It Is Important To Consider Connecting The Diagonal Braces

When constructing a Bailey bridge, it is important to consider connecting the diagonal braces.

The Bailey bridge beams are equipped with 4 sets of clamps on the beam to limit the position of the longitudinal beams, and are connected to the end posts by short columns and diagonal braces at both ends. The bottom of both ends has 3 grooves. When installing the beams, the grooves are inserted into the pins on the lower chord of the truss plate, allowing the beams to be positioned on the truss. The spacing between the grooves and the truss is the same, and the spacing between the trusses is relatively fixed after the beams are in place. The beam support consists of four parts: the pull rod, the suspended beam, and the support rod. It is used to fix the beam. The end of the support rod has a bulge, which is installed by inserting the bulge of the support rod into the groove on the beam plate and hooking the end of the suspended beam on the long slot of the frame column. Then the support rod (or wrench) is turned to secure it. The beam clamp cannot bear a large upward load, so when the beam is clamped with a clamp, it is strictly forbidden to use a jack to lift the beam up.
