Restoration of Historic Masonry Bridges
Masonry bridges are a very important type of historic bridge structure. Masonry bridges have been built all over the world, and some are as old as a couple of thousand years. They are constructed in various sizes, styles and for numerous reasons. From the aqueducts bringing water to Rome to pedestrian and vehicular bridges, they attract attention by their style and beauty. Masonry refers to the construction method using individual, heated, clay members being joined by a cement mortar. Masonry can comprise of brick, various types and sizes of stone, and terra cotta. Tile can also be included in this type of construction as a veneer. Masonry construction is generally heavy construction, and results in a massive structure. A project, which involves the use of a number of types of masonry construction and is a good example of masonry preservation and restoration, is the Georgian Court Bridge project. This project was designed and constructed to preserve a structure, which over a 100-year duration had fallen into a state of extensive deterioration. In this case, preservation and restoration were the best options. The Georgian Court Bridge is located in Lakewood, New Jersey. This bridge may be familiar to many, since it is featured on the cover of the 2001 ASCE Bridge calendar.
