Field Performance of Timber Bridges. 9. Big Erick's Stress-Laminated Deck Bridge
The Big Erick's bridge was constructed during September 1992 in Baranga County, Michigan. The bridge is 72 ft long, 16 ft wide, and consists of three simple spans: two stress-laminated deck approach spans and a stress-laminated box center span. The bridge is unique in that it is one of the first known stress-laminated timber bridge applications to use Eastern Hemlock sawn lumber and a combination of stress-laminated decks and a stress-laminated box in a single bridge. Performance of the bridge was montiored for 35 months, beginning at the time of installation.
