** Double story and link reinforced bridges are described "2£ + No. of Bays" (2 ends of bridge + No. of Bays)
a.
Work parties recommended for various bridge lengths are given in Table 1-5. Increase or decrease in the
size of the work party will, in most cases, considerably increase building times. The number of personnel required for
different bridge lengths is the number necessary to assemble/disassemble the bridge in the most efficient manner.
