Dr. Brian Kukay along with students Logan Dunlap and Daniel Zieske were recently mentioned in Structure magazine regarding a nationwide survey they are conducting.
The group is conducting a survey of Timber Bridge Construction and Maintenance. The survey was developed with input from Sheila Duwadi of FHWA, Jim Wacker of ASCE and the Forest Products Laboratory, and Phil Pierce, Chair of the Timber Bridge Committee. The survey will determine the extent of the use of wood for vehicular bridges and to assist in resolving issues of concern that bridge owners might be experiencing. Results will be provided to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and may lead to potential further investigation and/or research.
