Wood Preservative Treatment Guide for Historic Covered Bridges
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-08-0033
Project Abstract:
Several studies have already been completed from the previous year's research effort, identifying preservative treatments, fumigants, fire retardant treatments, and remedial treatments:
- Identification of Preservative Treatments and Fumigants for Treating Historic Covered Bridges.
- Effect of fire retardant treatments on covered bridges.
- Remedial treatments for field treating timber bridges.
These have been separate studies that need to be reviewed and relevant information extracted to produce a guide for engineers in selecting and treating timber members for these historic structures.
Goals
The objective is to develop a guide identifying chemical wood preservatives for use by engineers and bridge preservationists that maintains historic integrity yet remain effective
