1. Loading Increment2. Bridge 3. Beam LEFT 4. Beam RIGHT 5. Average (L & R) 6. Gross Deck 7. Net Deck 5 kN 10 kN 15 kN 20 kN – 0 min. 20 kN – 15 min. 20 kN – 30 min. 20 kN –45 min. 20 kN – 60 min. 1.Loading Increments 2.Bridge – As measured at midspan of the longitudinal beam receiving greatest loading. 3.Beam L – As measured under the longitudinal beam to left of selected deck monitoring point. 4.Beam R – As measured under the longitudinal beam to right of selected deck monitoring point. 5.Average (L & R) – Average of 3 and 4, above. 6.Gross Deck – As measured under the loading point expected to experience maximum deflection. 7.Net Deck – Column 6 minus Column 5. Deck Span: Transverse distance between main longitudinal bridge support members measured from inside edge to inside edge = _____________mm ÷ 100 = ____________mm = maximum allowable net deck deflection. 2.

7. Preservative Treatment: Describe the preservative treatment applied to all wood members. Include type and concentrations. Also, include a short statement of why this treatment was selected. Did the treatment requirement present any special problems? If yes, provide details. If treatment was not selected, explain why.

One photo of each deflection gauge at full loading, with identification sign indicating DECK, BEAM LEFT, BEAM RIGHT, BRIDGE.
24
Add as many photos as you wish showing the bridge construction process. Especially consider photos of internal structural components that may not be visible to judges from observing the finished bridge.
