In practice, most wood stringers are 16 inches (410 mm) in width due to limitations in milling. There are usually six stringers in a bridge. [18] Building the deck for a railroad bridge requires that a stringer lie directly beneath each rail, and that a stringer support each end of the railroad ties. Ties are usually 6 by 8 inches (150 by 200 ...
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 ...
Royal Engineers construct a Bailey bridge in Italy, September 1943. Wood planks are being laid over the stringers to construct the roadbed. The success of the Bailey bridge was due to the simplicity of the fabrication and assembly of its modular components, combined with the ability to erect and deploy sections with a minimum of assistance from heavy equipment.
Beam bridges are the simplest structural forms for bridge spans supported by an abutment or pier at each end. [1] No moments are transferred throughout the support, hence their structural type is known as simply supported. The simplest beam bridge could be a log (see log bridge), a wood plank, or a stone slab (see clapper bridge) laid
The Old US 41–Backwater Creek Bridge is a rigidly connected Warren pony truss, 80 feet (24 m) long with an 18-foot-wide (5.5 m) roadway.The deck is constructed of I-beams bolted to the verticals and support stringers, over which a concrete roadway is laid.

It is a road bridge, bringing Pine St. over railroad tracks. [2] It is a single-span bridge 148 feet (45 m) long and 22 feet (6.7 m) wide, with a timber deck and concrete abutments. In its 2002 National Register nomination it was deemed significant as "an excellent example" of a Pratt truss bridge, which in the past was common in Kansas.
The Fair Oaks Bridge is an example of Pennsylvania Petit truss bridge. The Pennsylvania (Petit) truss is a variation on the Pratt truss. [26] The Pratt truss includes braced diagonal members in all panels; the Pennsylvania truss adds to this design half-length struts or ties in the top, bottom, or both parts of the panels.
