Truss Analysis of Wood Covered Bridges: Many of the trusses used on covered wood bridges were designed and built without modern engineering analysis. Consequently, even though many have withstood decades and, in the case of some, over a century of use, we have very little understanding of how they "work" as engineering structures. Under this cooperative agreement, Johns Hopkins University will apply modern engineering tests and analyses to these trusses to attempt to determine which features of the bridges carry live and dead loads. The result will shed new, definitive light on the behavior of the bridges and their trusses.

- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
- Additional Information on Eligibility
- This is a single source award to Johns Hopkins University (JHU). The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activities based on a number of demonstrable factors. JHU Civil Engineering department has special expertise in the study of the engineering aspects of historic wood structures. This expertise in both experimental and computational modeling are relevant to advancing our understanding of historic structures. Due to earlier work with the NPS in performing innovative tests on historic covered bridges, JHU will be able to begin this project at an advanced stage.
