Abstract: This paper presents experimental results from large-scale red maple glued-laminated (glulam) double t-beam testing for application in hardwood glulam bridge design. Experimental results indicate that glulam t-beams assembled ...

Abstract: Two design criteria, allowable stress design (ASD) and load and resistance factor design (LRFD), are presented for calculating glued-laminated (glulam) stiffener beam depth and number of dome head through bolts used in ...

Abstract: Dowel and stiffener beam deck-to-deck connections transfer shear and moment between hardwood glued-laminated (glulam) transverse deck panels in longitudinal timber bridges. The connections resist relative deflections between ...

Abstract: A 5-year program to monitor the performance of a red oak longitudinal girder, transverse deck glued-laminated (glulam) highway bridge is presented. The bridge design details, including preservative treatment results, are ...
