BASIC TIMBER DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR BRIDGES
BASIC TIMBER DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR BRIDGES INTRODUCTION For thousands of years, TIMBER BRIDGES and other TIMBER structures were built primarily by trial and error and rule of thumb. Designs were based on past experience, and little concern was given to efficient material usage or economy. As the complexity of structures increased, more attention was focused on the importance of accurate engineering methods. Research was undertaken to develop DESIGN criteria for wood with the same level of accuracy and reliability available for other engineering materials.
applied in the design process. Timber design may seem confusing at first, but with experience it is no more difficult than design with other materials. This chapter provides an overview of basic design concepts for sawn lumber and glulam used in bridge design. It …
