MODERN TIMBER BRIDGES. SOME STANDARDS AND DETAILS

This summary of suggested bridge standards and details has been prepared with a view to coordinating bridge design criteria and timber design criteria, and to provide A background of suitable structural designs. It provides design information through which various spans, widths and types of bridges may be selected and combined to fit the site conditions. The range of suggested standards, so combined, will fill the needs of most of the possible bridge designs where the ground profile calls for a girder or stringer deck-type bridge. /TRRL/
