Development and Integration of Advanced Timber Bridge Inspection Techniques for NBIS Purchase Equipment and Train Users Status: CompleteProject Start Date: 01/21/2015 Summary: This project has set the stage with all necessary protocols and training for improved inspections of timber bridges, especially deteriorated substructure. However, full-scale implementation of this research will require that county and state inspectors have access to the specialized timber bridge inspection equipment that was identified during this project. The project team has worked to develop standard operating procedures, video demonstration and to provide hands-on access during the short courses developed and conducted in this project Final Deliverables: Related Materials: Related Research: Cost-Competitive Timber Bridge Designs for Long-Term Performance 2015-45A: Development of Cost-Effective Timber Bridge Repair Techniques for Minnesota 2015-45B: Cost-Effective Timber Bridge Repairs: Manual for Repairs of Timber Bridges in Minnesota Development and Integration of Advanced Timber Bridge Inspection Techniques for NBIS Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Pile Driving Project - Phase II Study Developing Flexural Vibration Inspection Techniques for Wooden Bridges Development of Flexural Vibration Inspection Equipment, Techniques to Assess Structural Health of Rural Bridge Sys II.
