Monitoring of Nine Bridges with Parallam Bridge Decks
This project deals with monitoring bridges decks constructed with Parallam deck panels, which are composed of structural composite lumber that is stiffened by wide flange steel stringers. The objective is to conduct field testing and evaluation on all of the Parallam bridges in West Virginia and to propose appropriate changes to current practices and new specifications to make Parallam bridge decks the preferred bridge deck for low-volume roads.
