TECHNICAL DETAILS
INTRODUCTION:
The bridge is of “through” type, the roadway being carried between two
main girders. The main girder is formed from steel panels of welded
construction 3048 mm(10 ft) long x 2160 mm (7 ft 1 in) high between pin
holes, each panel being pin joined to its neighbour end to end. The load
carrying capacity of the girder can be increased by adding extra panels
alongside and on top of the existing panels. The panels put alongside are
known as trusses while row of panels put on top of panels is called storey.
Girder made of three panels along side each other and one set of three on
top is known as triple truss, double storey (TD in short).
This construction can be reinforced by the addition of chord reinforcement

to the top and bottom of each truss. The reinforced construction is annotated
by the addition of the letter ”R” . TD when thus reinforced is termed as TDR.
Illustration on such construction of bridge girders are shown hereunder. The

heaviest construction is termed as QDR (Quadruple Truss, Double Storey
and Reinforced).
The girders are connected crosswise by transoms. These are long RSJs which
rest on the bottom chord of the panels, and carry the roadways superstructure.
They are tied to the panel chords by transom bolts and fix the trusses in
position at the required distance apart.
End posts, Male and Female, are

provided for connecting to the female
and male lugs at the ends of the
panels of each truss of the bridge for
distributing the shear forces due to the
end reaction of the bridge. The end
posts attached to the ends of each
truss of bridge girder are supported
on bearings which rest over base
plates placed on the ground at each
end of the span. The base plates are
intended to spread the load from the
bearings evenly over an area of
ground.

MATERIAL OF CONSTRUCTION
The major load bearing members are fabricated from high-tensile steel
sections.
DECKING
Steel deck units are fixed to the transoms by bolts.
LOAD CLASS
Meets Class 70R loading as per IRC-6 for both tracked and wheeled
vehicles. The maximum load from single vehicle for Class 70R is 100 ton for
wheeled version and 70 ton for tracked version.

season is limited due to
heavy rainfall/snowfall etc.
o Over gorges where
conventional RCC bridges
are difficult to construct.
o Sites where river may
change course.
o Sites having security
Bailey Bridge used in remote snow-bound area
challenges.
! As part of disaster management

plans to enable quick restoration
of communication after natural
calamities like tsunamis, floods,
earthquakes, cyclones and/or
after disasters like enemy and
terrorist attacks etc.
Bailey Bridge used to restore communication after
collapse of existing bridge in Assam
! As diversion/detour bridges
during construction of highways
and major bridges.
! For ensuring quick access to

remote, inaccessible areas and
enabling faster socio-economic
development of far-flung areas.
