Development of Standard Plans for Glulam Highway Bridges
The main emphasis of this project will be updating available glued-laminated timber (glulam) bridge design standards to meet 2007 AASHTO-LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. There is a need to provide basic engineering guidance to practicing engineers regarding the deign and fabrication of timber bridge systems. Engineering design aids in the form of standard plan drawings, details, and specifications have proven to be effective guidance tools.
