Timber Pier Bents Special Member Inspections

Still very busy with design work and trying to update when I have a chance.

Back on April 14th I inspected two special member bridges. The first bridge has a timber deck with two timber pier bents and spans over Woonasquatuck River in North Providence. 

The Special member inspection only focused on the timber pier bents which had checks and splits with section loss to the columns along the water line.

The second bridge has rolled steel beams which are two span continuous and spans over Bucks Horn Brook in Coventry.
