Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Part of the research program of the Transport and Road Research Laboratory in the United Kingdom is the study of road transport problems in developing countries. The unit that specializes in this work has carried out an assessment of a new design of timber bridge. It is a truss type made from prefabricated panels and is appropriate for use in countries that need low-cost bridges, but have only a supply of relatively small-section timber. The design is now being developed and promoted in Honduras, Madagascar, and other countries by the Timber Research and Development Association under sponsorship by the United Kingdom and United Nations Industrial Development Organization.
