Moses Structural Engineers, in collaboration with Brown and Co. Engineering Ltd., prepared the Ontario Wood Bridge Reference Guide for both the Canadian Wood Council and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. North America has a long history of constructing roadways, railways, logging roads, and other bridges using timber. This reference guide provides designers with up-to-date background information needed to design timber highway bridges for primary and secondary roads. The document is split into three sections: “Wood Bridges – Design and Use”, “Opportunities & Current Limitations”, and “Design Examples”.

The guide is available as a free download here.
