Bailey Bridge Deck Type Bridge Compact 100 Large wide Construction Platform Temporary
Brief Introduction
Deck-type panel bridges are normally two lanes, class 50 or higher bridges assembled to replace single-lane bridges. A deck-type panel bridge has the following advantages over a through-type bridge :
- Roadway can be wider for passage of extra-wide vehicles.
- Deck-type assembly allows greater side overhang of vehicles.
- A lighter decking system can be used when the roadway is supported by trusses.
- With some sloping banks, the span between abutments is shorter than in a through-type bridge, because bearings are set 5 feet (1.5 meters) below road level.
- Demolished piers need not be built Up to the level of the roadway.
- There are no overhead restrictions.
A deck-type panel bridge has the following disadvantages:
- Excavation at abutments may be necessary because bearings are 5 feet (1.5 meters) below the roadway.
- It is more difficult to launch.
- It must be lowered 5 feet (1.5 meters) onto the bearings.
- Waterway clearance is decreased.
