Title: OHIO'S EXPERIENCES WITH TREATED TIMBER FOR BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION
Accession Number: 00459577
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Described in this paper are the various types of timber structures with which Ohio has had experience. It includes a discussion of the various timber bridges built in the 1930s, which normally were timber strip floors on steel beams on timber pile abutments and piers. Described also are some of the more modern types of timber structures used including glued-laminated transverse deck panels installed on existing steel beams; longitudinal laminated deck panels that are self supporting; and laminated, panelized timber box culverts. The specifics on these types include actual costs, ease of construction, and performance after installation. The panelized timber structures can be erected quickly with traditional construction equipment. Many treated timber structures, especially glued-laminated structures, have higher initial cost, but lower maintenance costs and a longer projected life.
