Download or read book Design, Construction, and Quality Control Guidelines for Stress Laminated Timber Bridge Decks written by J. F. Davalos. This book was released on 1993. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines for the design of stress-laminated timber decks have been published by AASHTO, but they do not provide comprehensive information on materials, construction, and inspection. Therefore, this document presents: (1) background information on timber bridge materials and their quality control; (2) a comprehensive step-by-step design procedure based on the 1991 AASHTO Guide Specification; and (3) guidelines for construction, field monitoring, inspection, and maintenance procedures. Potential fabrication problems are discussed, and an inspection checklist is included.
