Pre-engineered Modular Military Pontoon Bailey Bridge Heavy Load
Capacity
As one kind of Military Bailey Bridge, the Military pontoon bridges
are usually built either by successively extending outward from the
shore or by constructing whole sections as rafts and floating them
into position. Truss bridges, for use where riverbanks are steep or
navigation must be kept open, are made up in panels readily bolted
together. Military truss bridges were pioneered in World War II by
the highly successful British-invented Bailey bridge, which played
an especially important role in the Allied campaign in Italy. Also
during World War II, the scissors assault bridge was introduced; a
folding bridge, consisting of a pair of solid-girder-supported deck
sections, hinged at their juncture, was carried to the riverbank by
a tank; opening out in an inverted V, it flattened into a level
crossing.
Description of Military Steel Bailey Bridge
Prefabricated Steel Bailey Bridges are normally built on site from
a pre-engineered system of ready-to-assemble components. Military
bridge,
temporary bridge that must usually be constructed in haste by
military engineers, from available materials, frequently under
fire. The earliest
types historically were pontoon bridges—i.e., floating bridges that
rest on stationary boats. Pontoon bridges were constructed in
ancient times
by Persians, Greeks, Romans, and Mongols, the most famous being
Xerxes’ 2-mile (3-kilometre) span over the Hellespont
(Dardanelles). Th
Romans, however, frequently built more durable military bridges,
notably Julius Caesar’s timber crossing of the Rhine River and
Trajan’s timber-
arch span of the Danube.

History of Bailey bridge
By the 17th century, bridging equipment was part of the train of
European and Turkish armies, with pontoons fashioned not only of
timber but
also of leather, copper, and tin. Pneumatic pontoons with steel
roadways made their appearance during World War II.
