Behavior of Stress-Laminated Parallel-Chord Timber Bridge Decks. Experimental and Analytical Studies
The size of the highway system in the United States and the continued need for maintenance and repair have created tremendous pressure on local, state, and federal governments to seek new, efficient, and economic means of insuring safety. Bridges, critical links in the transportation system, have begun to receive long-overdue attention. The USDA Forest Service, which is directly responsible for thousands of miles in the highway system, has recently taken a lead role in assessing new technological means of addressing highway bridge deficiencies through innovative uses of timber in bridge construction. As part of this role, direct funding has been allocated toward basic and applied timber bridge research through the Forest Products Laboratory. Efforts are also underway to bring the necessary expertise to design engineers. The report describes the development of a new type of timber bridge, which may prove to be an efficient and economical system for replacing many bridges that are beyond repair.
