Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures - Part 2: Bridges
Also Known As:
The Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures - Part 2: Bridges is a standard that complements Part 1 of the Eurocode 5. It provides a set of general rules as well as additional detailed rules for the structural design of timber bridges and bridges made of wood-based panels.
The standard aims to ensure the reliability of the entire bridge or its major components, whether they are made solely of timber or in combination with concrete, steel, or other materials. It covers both single and composite structures, where timber is used as a main structural element.
By providing comprehensive guidelines for the design of timber bridges, the standard helps maintain the safety and durability of these structures. This includes considerations for loadings, structural analysis, material properties, connections, and design methods specific to timber and wood-based panels.
