जाजरकोट–डोल्पा सडकखण्डको डोल्पा खण्डमा तोकिएको समयमा पुल निर्माण नहुँदा दैनिक सास्ती भोग्नुपरेको छ । दुई वर्षअघि एक वर्षभित्र निर्माण हुने भनिएका पुल अहिलेसम्म निर्माण पूरा नहुँदा सर्वसाधारणले दुःख भोग्दै आएका छन् । डोल्पाको खदाङ, करबगाड, त्रिपुराकोट बगर र रुपगाडमा तोकिएको समयमा बेलीब्रिज पुल निर्माण नभएका हुन् । पुलको जगमा सामान्य पिलर मात्र उठाइएको छ, जबकि हालसम्म पुल निर्माण भइसक्नुपर्ने थियो…

Timber bridges for durable structures

Timber bridges have gained much popularity with time in the whole of the USA. This is because professionals in the construction field have come to accept these types of bridges as efficient. As a result they have been used in numerous construction projects across the country. The design of timber bridges are determined by a number of factors which affect the structure of the bridge. This includes the durability of the bridge, maintenance and the purpose it intends to serve. In the construction of timber bridges, there are materials used to reinforce and enhance the durability of the bridge.

Steel screws are used to hold together the large wooden beams in place. The screws are stainless to improve on the quality of the bridge. They are designed in a way that they can hold much weight into position. Heavy duty bolts and nuts are also incorporated in the construction of timber bridges. They provide the extra reinforcement required for the bridge to stay into place. The bolts are galvanized to protect them from rust which can weaken them. The timber bridges are constructed by the use of hardwood timbers which are exotic in nature. As a result they allow the bridge to be durable. In addition to that the timber used to construct the bridges is chemically treated to discourage attack from fungus and insects like termites which can weaken the timber bridge.

When constructing timber bridges to provide a path way across a water body to the other side of the land, a bulkhead comes in handy. This is a retaining wall that is used to separate land and water. The bulkheads on either side of the land are used to connect the two sides. This is achieved through the linking of piers and docks to the bulkhead. The use of timber in the construction of timber bridges is essential as it is not prone to rust, cracks and rotting if properly treated. This makes it durable and hence the best material in the construction of timber bridges.
