  1. 1. Performance of Stress-Laminated-Timber Bridge Decks

    Author : Kristoffer K J Ekholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; butt joints; non-linear modelling; stress-laminated timber; linear modelling; prestressing; timber bridges; interlaminar slip; FE modelling; laboratory tests; durability;

    Abstract : Stress-laminated-timber (SLT) bridge decks are a satisfactory alternative to conventional short-span bridges in terms of cost and performance. SLT decks are made from a number of timber or glulam beams positioned side by side and stressed together using high-strength steel bars. READ MORE
