Book excerpt: This paper summarizes the results of load tests on an experimental highway bridge erected and put into service on the George Washington National Forest in Virginia in 1977. The bridge, made entirely of Press-Lam, a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) product, was load tested 1 month, 1 year, and 5 years after erection. The bridge continues to perform quite well and, although a slight increase in bridge flexibility was noted during this time period, the deflections were well below those calculated in the original design. Thus, laminated veneer structural members can be successfully used in exterior structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes the results of the load tests and summarizes the collection of data on the dimensional changes and moisture content of the press-lain members and the number and types of vehicles using the bridge. The results of the load tests suggest that the AASHTO load distribution is conservative. Although the rails, wheel guards and posts are exhibiting a high moisture content and areas of delamination, the bridge is structurally sound and in excellent condition after five years of service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes the installation of the wearing surface, the results of the second load test, and the status of the collection of data on the dimensional changes and moisture content of the press-lam members and the number and types of vehicles using the bridge. The results of the load test suggest that the AASHTO load distribution is conservative and that the steel dowels adequately provide for load transfer between panels. With the exception of the rails and wheel guards, which are exhibiting a high moisture content and showing signs of delamination, the bridge is structurally sound and in excellent condition after one year of service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report describes the installation and load test of the world's first press-lam timber bridge superstructure. A five-man crew replaced the substandard steel stringer-timber deck superstructure on Rte. 610 over Little Stoney Creek in Shenandoah County with the press-lam superstructure in about four work days, and the road was closed for only eight hours. Results of the load tests conducted two weeks after the 17.5 ft.(5.33 m) span, 2-lane bridge was constructed suggest that the stringer live load distribution specified by AASHTO is conservative. The Research Council will inspect and load test the bridge periodically over a five-year period.
