Cost-Effective Timber Bridge Repairs: Manual for Repairs of Timber Bridges in Minnesota

One of the primary objectives of this project, Development of Cost-Effective Timber Bridge Repair Techniques for Minnesota, was to produce a timber bridge repair manual. This manual is comprised of some of the content from the final report for the project, along with an extended presentation of timber maintenance options. This final manual is a standalone document from which the maintenance and repair options can be implemented. A final report (2015-45A, "Development of Cost-effective Timber Bridge Repair Techniques for Minnesota") and a technical summary (Manual Gives Cost-Effective Techniques to Extend Timber Bridge Life Spans) were also developed.
