| Abstract | The McCurdy Road bridge is a 4.9 m (16 ft) long and 7.9 m (26 ft) wide single-span, stress laminated deck superstructure, pressure treated with ammonical copper quat preservative. The bridge was constructed in June 1995 as the most economical structure when compared with several alternative short-span designs. Results of this case study indicate that a stress laminated timber bridge is a structurally and economically viable option for 3.1 to 6.1 m (10 to 20 ft) crossings. Future stress laminated timber bridges in Richland County will be improved by utilizing lessons learned from the design, construction, and performance monitoring of the McCurdy Road bridge. |
