Analysis of Biological Damage of the Timber Footbridge

Abstract:

Glued laminated timber – Glulam is commonly used for the constructing of wooden structures in the interior and exterior. Wood as an organic material and may be the subject to a biological processes that can be a risk, mainly for construction on the exterior. Analyzed footbridge is made of glued laminated timber and is build in the Czech Republic. Analysis shows a serious disturbance caused by biological influences only a few years after construction completion. This article described summary of analysis of timber footbridge damage and their causes.
