  • Covered Bridges in the United States and the Preservation Program
    Covered Bridges in the United States and the Preservation Program Sheila Rimal Duwadi, P.E. Team Leader for Bridge Safety, Reliability, and Security Federal Highway Administration McLean, VA 22101 & James P. Wacker Research Engineer USDA Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory Madison, WI 58726 Summary Covered wooden bridges once dotted the landscape of the United States numbering 14,000 at one time as reported in the Federal Highway Administration’s Covered Bridge Manual [1]. Today there are only 500 to 600 covered bridges remaining in the country, having survived hundreds of years largely as result of the roof structure which kept the bridge timbers dry. This paper reports on select number of existing covered bridges and current efforts to preserve and restore these historic structures. It provides an overview of the National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation (NHCBP) Program administered by the Federal Highway Administration. This program includes preservation of covered bridges that are listed, or are eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It also includes research for better means of restoring and protecting covered bridges, and includes education component to disseminate information as a means of preserving our cultural heritage. 1. Introduction Covered wooden bridges proliferated in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century. Today 500 to 600 remain, but nevertheless are cherished links to the technological heritage of the United States. The through-truss designs vary from the Kingpost trusses built in the craft tradition, to the engineered Burr arch and Paddleford trusses. Covered bridges are our links to the past and the pioneering bridge-building efforts, and as such, are considered important early American transportation structures to preserve for our posterity.

  • Use of Laser Scanning Technology to Obtain As-Built Records of Historic Covered Bridges
    Use of Laser Scanning Technology to Obtain As-Built Records of Historic Covered Bridges Final Report By: Brian K. Brashaw Samuel Anderson Robert Vatalaro Program Director Student Engineer Pr. Res. Shop Foreman December 2011 Prepared for: Project No. 3002 10414 00012627 USDA Forest Products Laboratory NRRI/TR-20011/27 One Gifford Pinchot Drive Madison, Wisconsin 53726 Natural Resources Research Institute University of Minnesota, Duluth 5013 Miller Trunk Highway Duluth, MN 55811 BACKGROUND Covered bridges are part of the fabric of American history, and several hundred historic covered bridges still exist today. Although much effort is expended to preserve these structures, the high cost of restoration, neglect, vandalism, and arson often take their toll, and many are lost forever. One of the more famous bridges from “Bridges of Madison County” movie fame was burned in 2003 and Hurricane Irene destroyed a number of New England bridges in 2011. Because we cannot completely prevent these types of incidents from occurring, the National Park Service’s Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) has efforts underway to document historic structures. Their Level I documentation is defined in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Architectural and Engineering Documentation and consists of measured and interpretive drawings, large-format photographs, and written historical reports. To assist in this effort, newer technologies need to be explored that can provide as-built records at a faster rate and with more accuracy. The University of Minnesota Duluth’s Natural Resources Research Institute (UMD NRRI), in cooperation with the US Forest Service received funding from the USDA Forest Products Laboratory for a cooperative research and demonstration project under the National Center for Wood Transportation Structures.

  • California Without a Car Los Angeles & San Francisco—2001
    California Without a Car Los Angeles & San Francisco—2001 [UPDATE: June, 2009—As I gradually go back over my old travelogues, I’ll be leaving the original text intact but adding additional comments in boldfaced enclosed in brackets to expand on what was originally said. I’ll also add some additional scanned photos to enhance the original travelogues.] “For Your Intellectual Entertainment” – the paper airplane sculpture on L.A.’s green line The famous “Hollywood” sign The Redondo Beach pier A red line train in the L.A. subway [The pictures at the start of this travelogue were included in the original version, though I must confess I took none of them. This was right when the internet was coming into its own, and before I had easy access to a scanner or a digital camera. The pictures shown here were the results of image searches for various Los Angeles area landmarks. I must say, though, I did take virtually identical pictures of everything except the subway car. On my old cheap film camera, it would have been all but impossible to take a good picture in an underground station.] [More than many of the trips I’ve taken, this one surprised me and tested my pre-conceived notions. I wasn’t really expecting to like Los Angeles, but it turned out to be one of my favorite places anywhere—a city almost completely different from the stereotypes I’d had of it. I’ve been back to L.A. three times since this trip, and I’d return again tomorrow if I could afford it.

We’ve celebrated holidays and turned the page on a brand-new year. Those of us in the North reveled in the wintry weather for which we’re known. Others measured their snow in inches, not feet. Or maybe not at all. Whichever way, spring is a fresh start for everyone! One of the best ways to celebrate a new season is by bringing families and friends together, whether in big groups to celebrate the joy of family or smaller get-togethers to enjoy the nice weather outside.
