GB Q355B High Strength PB100 Modular footbridge With Long Lifetime

Modular footbridges are portable steel bridge have been widely used in various fields, its most important feature is to achieve a variety of spans, bear carrying capacity, light and handy components, easy to dismantle and strong adaptability can be quickly completed with simple tools and manpower.

In addition to the structural elements, steel modular footbridges can incorporate various design features, such as architectural lighting, aesthetic cladding, or artistic elements, to enhance their visual appeal and integration into the surrounding environment.

The Importance of Bailey Bridge Application on PB100 Modular footbridge

As compared to the general transportation and bridge construction, PB100 Modular footbridge have its uniqueness. PB100 Modular footbridges are characterized by the economical and small-scale to provide connectivity for villagers in remote rural areas. The bridges of PB100 modular bridge are only used as footbridge and has forbidden the use of vehicles and agricultural machinery to cross the bridge. In that respect, the design loading for PB100 Modular footbridges has usually taken as 3kN/m2 and is much smaller than those applied for conventional bridges.

PB100 Modular footbridge Introduction

Modular footbridge is a kind of light-weighted footbridge constructed from fabricated steel. It is composed of the load-bearing bailey panels, the minor load carrying transoms (floor beams), decks, other support members. The construction is simple by using standardized prefabricated components under a reasonable budget control.

PB100 Modular footbridge Advantage

Simple structure

Standardization of prefabricated components

Controllable cost

Fast construction speed

Environmental Benefits: Prefabrication of steel footbridges reduces waste and minimizes the environmental impact of construction. Additionally, steel is a highly recyclable material, making steel footbridges a sustainable choice.

PB100 Modular footbridge Features
1. High strength and big stiffness, relative to the concrete bridge can be reduced trabecular high and self-respect
2. Due to the steel isotropic, quality of a material is uniform and modulus of elasticity, that make steel bridge in the working condition and calculation compared with the assumption
3. Modular footbridge generally prefabricated in factory, site assembled by pins and bolts; the construction period is short, processing convenient and not affected by seasonal effect.
4. Modular footbridge is suitable for industrialized manufacture and very convenient to transport.
5. Modular footbridge is easy to repair and replace, long lifetime, material can be recycled.

PB100 Modular footbridge Scope of Application

The erection of the bridge could be carried out in a speedy way as only manual labor and simple machinery are required. It is a versatile design and can be used widely as a footbridge in rural and mountainous areas.

In principle, the footbridge is designed for pedestrians and livestock uses and not for vehicles or agricultural machinery. Two standards of bailey footbridge roadway width, which are 1300mm and 1500mm, measured from the two truss panel centers (also defined as clear width of 1250mm and 1450mm respectively) have built and used as shown in figure. The 1500mm width design is more suitable to places where the need of free passage by livestock is required. The clear width of the bridge should not be larger than 1500mm and this could prevent the abused use by vehicles and agriculture machinery by overloading it.
