Load-bearing capacity of Type 321 Bailey Bridge

Type 321 Bailey Bridge is a prefabricated steel bridge widely used in bridge engineering. It has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient transportation, quick erection, large load capacity, good interchangeability and strong adaptability. The following is the specific load-bearing capacity of Type 321 Bailey Bridge:

1. **Design load**
Type 321 Bailey Bridge is suitable for a variety of load levels, as follows:
- **Automobile load**: Applicable to automobile-10 level, automobile-15 level, automobile-20 level.
- **Track load**: Can carry crawler load of 50 tons.
- **Trailer load**: Can carry trailer-80 level.

2. **Specific parameters**
- **Single-piece Bailey beam**:
- Allowable bending moment (MX): 782 kN-m.
- Allowable shear force (QX): 242 kN.
- **Combined bridge**:
- Single-layer single row (SS): allowable bending moment 78.82 T.m, allowable shear force 24.52 T.
- Double-layer double row (DS): allowable bending moment 157.64 T.m, allowable shear force 49.04 T.
- Three-row single layer (TS): allowable bending moment 224.637 T.m, allowable shear force 69.882 T.
- Double-row double layer (DD): allowable bending moment 326.54 T.m, allowable shear force 49.05 T.
- Three-row double layer (TD): allowable bending moment 465.32 T.m, allowable shear force 69.89 T.

3. **Actual application case**
In actual application, the 321 type Bailey bridge can meet the traffic needs of various heavy vehicles. For example, in a certain project, 321-type Bailey bridges were used as the main beams, with a 6-row single-layer top-bearing structure and a designed traffic load of 100 tons.

Summary
The 321-type Bailey bridge can meet the traffic needs of a variety of heavy vehicles with its high load-bearing capacity, flexible design and structural improvements. Its design loads include car-10, car-15, car-20, crawler-50 and trailer-80, making it an ideal choice for various complex engineering needs.
