I recently returned from a week on Normandie for the 65th anniversary. Can you tell me the difference between Tdreadway and bailey brdidges. And are they, or can they, be equally well supported by pontoons or other floating mateeriel? Ex Sgt don reynolds, Hq ADSEC Com Z.
Bailey Island Bridge was created in 1928.
A Bailey bridge is a portable pre-fabricated truss bridge, designed for use by military engineering units.
Clay Wade Bailey Bridge was created in 1974.
Boxgirder bridge
giant cables and abutments
Sir Donald Coleman Bailey (1901-1985)
There are no similarities between the two bridges. They are completely and totally different.
The span is the distance between supports. The sum of the span lengths is the bridge length.
AbutmentA retaining wall supporting the ends of a bridge or viaduct.Pierssupport if continuous bridge
There is no great difference between between the two in principlebut,In a Carey foster's bridge there is no end resistance whereas in the case of a metre bridge end resistance afffects our readings.Hence Carey foster bridge is more accurate than metre bridge .Carey foster bridge can also measure low resistance and high resistance but a metre bridge cannot do so.
