About Bailey Bridge

Bailey bridge is used when there is a need to cross an obstacle for a certain time period. This is often in case of military operations, during or after natural disasters replacement or renovation of consistent bridges or in unusually areas like the movie industry.

The function also differs on differs on different users of the bridge which could be pedestrians, common vehicles (car, bus, truck), heavy military equipment (tank) or the railway.

Plate girders

The use of plate girders gives scope to vary the girder sections to suit the loads carried at different positions along the bridge. The designer is free to choose the thickness of web and size of flange to suit the internal forces at different positions along the length of the span, though it must be remembered that too many changes may not lead to economy, because of the additional fabrication work. Splices are expensive, whether bolted or welded.

Most often, the girders have parallel flanges, that is, they have a constant depth. However, with plate girders, the designer can also choose to vary the depth of the girder along its length. For longer spans it is quite common to increase the girder depth over intermediate supports. For spans below about 50m, the choice (constant or varying depth) is often governed by aesthetics. Above 50m, varied depth may offer economy because of the weight savings possible in midspan regions. The variation in depth can be achieved either by straight haunching (tapered girders) or by curving the bottom flange. The shaped web, either for a variable depth or constant depth girder with a vertical camber, is easily achieved by profile cutting during fabrication. Generally, webs have a high depth/thickness ratio and this leads to the need for intermediate transverse web stiffeners in regions of high shear (near supports).

Very occasionally, for reasons of appearance, the outermost girders are designed as a J-section; the bottom flange projects only on the inner side of the web. Requests for this detail arise from a dislike of the flange outstand, although there is little visible difference and the distinction is not noticed by most people. Use of such a section introduces torsional effects (because the shear centre is outside the line of the web) that require very careful consideration during design and construction, with significant penalty on costs an increased hazards during construction.

Also, on occasion, relatively small box girders are used in multi-girder construction. Box girders require special design consideration, because of their high torsional stiffness and high cost of fabrication. Advice on construction costs may be obtained from steelwork contractors.

FAMOUS Solutions for Bridges

FAMOUS provides full support to bridge owners, architects, engineers, and contractors with necessary technical advice and assistance to ensure a successful project. In particular for refurbishment projects, this includes assistance throughout the process, from the initial survey and assessment, root cause diagnosis, specification writing, detailing, method statements, on-site quality control, and practical application assistance. For new construction, FAMOUS can offer support to design structures for long service life. FAMOUS ’s expertise can make a significant contribution to minimizing the total project cost over the full defined service life-cycle.

FAMOUS today provides a complete range of innovative products and systems specially designed to solve all challenging requirements in differing bridge projects anywhere in the world.

Concrete Technology

Concrete structures such as bridges can be exposed to a broad range of forces and strains, starting internally with mechanical stresses resulting from the construction type and extending to various external attacks. Enormous stressors on the concrete include such factors as extreme hot or cold temperature conditions and fluctuations, aggressive water or chemicals, continually rolling, abrading or pulsating strains on surfaces, or even in extreme cases the impact of fire. Therefore, a highly durable concrete is necessary for the construction or repair of a bridge.

As the co-founder of FAMOUS Engineering Company, Mr.Tomy GAO has been in the construction field for many years, and established series of companies with the target to create ecological chain in the building construction industry.

Nowadays, under FASECBuildings Group, there are several typical companies namely:

1. Hangzhou FAMOUS Steel Engineering Company

2. FASEC (Hangzhou) Window Wall Company

3. Hangzhou FASEC Building Material Company

Hangzhou USEU Metal Manufacturing Company and some more not listed here.

The key business scope of FASECbuildings Group include but not limited at:

FASECbuildings Group always aim to offer cost saving prefab materials for USA-Europe & UK-Australia etc foreign standard market customers, with freely technical supports like engineering design when needed/detailing drawings/site construction guidance etc. We have multiple certification/experiences as well as the overall 2D/3D modelling capability for the building framing and the surroundings.

Brief Introduction of Subsidiaries:

1. Hangzhou FAMOUS Steel Engineering Co.,ltd. focus on the Design & Construction of various Steel Buildings and Structural Steelworks fabrication. The company have received a lot of foreign projects ranging from warehouse buildings, multi-storey apartments, high rise office & hotel buildings, space framing theaters, triangle truss buildings, to steel bridges, handling machinery framing, power plant towers, mining production line steelworks, cement production line steelworks, petro-chemical rackings etc. Basically the company have the full capability to operate various large-scaled projects complex except the simple building project.

2. FASEC (Hangzhou) Window Wall Company specializes in the offer of various aluminum & glass-related products design/manufacture/supply & installation. We have successfully supplied quite a lot of insulated & laminated glass panes, windows, glass doors, curtain walls, partition walls, railings, louvers, grills, metal claddings etc not only in China but also around the world. Australian standard, British Standard, Europe standard, and American standard etc aluminum & glass facade products are in our main research & development range.

3. Hangzhou FASEC Building Material Company play the role of the bridging and lubricating with different customers of new building material requirement for roof wall floor and interiors. Our building material team always are on the way to research and develop new style building material to save cost and time of building industrial customers. USEU Metal factory is its strong manufacturing backup force, and our own engineering team can offer various technical supports too.

FASECBuildings Group have passed by series of certifications like the quality management system (ISO 9001:2008), the Europe product quality control system EN1090, the structural fabrication system certificates of Europe ISO3834 and America AWS D1.1, the Australia AS2047 Glazed Windows Doors Qualifications etc.
