A licensed engineer can help operators design a safe, appropriate timber bridge. Personnel from Virginia Tech have described in detail how to build a stringer bridge using standard bridge design procedures, for example, by placing timber stringers across the abutment, using a bent to support a trestle or timber frame. Their methods are quick ...
The bridge opened for highway M-26 traffic in 1990, at which point the neighboring Lake Shore Drive Bridge was restricted to pedestrian use. [4] On August 26, 1992, the bridge was entered into the 1992 Timber Bridge Design and Construction Award Competition. [5] It was awarded first place in the "Long Span Vehicular Bridges" category. [6]
Timber truss bridges, and timber bridges generally were so common that NSW was known to travellers as the "timber bridge state". [1] The following list illustrates the development of New South Wales bridge construction techniques. The list commences from the earlier constructions through to the later developments.
Switzerland has many timber covered bridges, [11] including Kapellbrücke, Spreuer Bridge, and Neubrügg. The Ponte Coperto in Pavia is a stone and brick arch bridge over the Ticino River in Pavia, Italy. The previous bridge, dating from 1354 (itself a replacement for a Roman construction), was heavily damaged by Allied action in 1945. A debate ...
A Howe truss is a truss bridge consisting of chords, verticals, and diagonals whose vertical members are in tension and whose diagonal members are in compression. The Howe truss was invented by William Howe in 1840, and was widely used as a bridge in the mid to late 1800s.
A trestle bridge is a bridge composed of a number of short spans supported by closely spaced frames. A trestle (sometimes tressel) is a rigid frame used as a support, historically a tripod used to support a stool or a pair of isosceles triangles joined at their apices by a plank or beam such as the support structure for a trestle table .

"erection of a Timber truss Bridge on Iron Piers over the Hunter River at Morpeth; also alternative tenders for a bridge with composite Truss spans on Timber Piers." In August 1896 it was announced that the tender was won by S. McGill of Inverell. [8] The estimated cost of its construction was £9,000, the actual final cost was £9,239/11/5. [9]
