BRIDGE COMPONENTS

Reinforcement Chord

The Reinforcing Chord is fitted along designated panel chords when the bridge design requires additional chord capacity. It works with the existing truss chord through specified connections, rather than acting as a separate main girder. Its section, length and fastening arrangement must suit the panel series and reinforcement layout. Hunan Tuotian can prepare supply requirements around the confirmed drawing, including the steel specification and associated connection hardware where ordered.

Product Features

  • Reinforcement at designated locations

    Bailey chord reinforcement follows the calculated layout of upper or lower chords. The extent of reinforcement depends on the complete bridge configuration and its governing load cases.

  • Matched fastening interfaces

    Hole spacing, contact faces and bolt assemblies are coordinated with the parent panel. Correct interface selection supports force transfer between the added section and original chord.

  • Controlled material specification

    Truss chord reinforcement can be evaluated for a project-specified steel grade. Strength, thickness and connection requirements remain linked; material substitution alone does not establish a higher bridge rating.

Fit and Ordering Information

Provide the panel model, reinforcement drawing and quantity for each position. Identify any existing chord bolts or spacers that will be retained. For strengthening work, submit the engineer-approved configuration so the supplied parts match the intended arrangement. The final bridge capacity must be determined from the assembled system, including its connections.
