Timber Truss Bridge
Timber Truss Bridge
(OP)
Ok, I'm not an engineer, but I need the help of one. I need to build a bridge of wooden material to span 30' and carry a moving load of 10,000. I can use 10x10 beams as the pilings. Can anyone help with what type of span between the pilings and the thickness of the cross beams and deck material. Width of the bridge needs to be 12' minimum. This is for a rural piece of property that I own, so no public will be traversing the bridge.
Any takers?

I'm still looking for that Do-It-Yourself wooden bridge info.

Which was perfect for what I was looking for. Thanks for all the help to both of you!
