Investigation of Cross Laminated Timber Bridge Decks as a Sustainable Solution for Repair of Deficient Rural Wood Bridges, Year 1

The research objectives are: 1) Experimentally quantify the ability of flat plate connectors to transfer in-plane shear forces at full-scale and 2) Develop a design approach for connector placement and sizing based on the results of objective (1) and mechanics.
