Bailey Bridge Calcs

The document provides guidelines for estimating the length of a Bailey bridge span based on site measurements of abutment to abutment length, bank heights, safety setbacks, and an initial roller clearance constant. It gives example calculations for spans of 35 meters, 30 meters, and another example where setbacks are not needed.
