Maximum Load Capacity of Bailey Bridges
Full-scale ultimate capacity tests of the Bailey bridge by the Research and Development Laboratories of the Corps of Engineers, United States Army, in 1944, provided basic data for determining the capacity of the structure. This paper explains how the test results were used to determine the maximum military loads that could cross various types of Bailey bridges. This method, developed as a result of the ultimate capacity tests, represents a departure from the strictly analytical methods generally used to determine the capacities of bridges. For the most part, maximum load capacities were increased as a result of the investigation.
