Abstract
Brazil is a continental size country with several rivers that creates a large demand for short and medium span bridges for which timber is a renewable and ecologically friend option for material for building, once resists well for quick loadings. Using Glued-laminated timber (glulam) allows the fabrication of large dimension pieces, resulting in good stability and high quality control providing safety and reliability for the structures. This work has the aim of providing criteria for the verification, based on ultimate state limit method, for bridges with glulam girders and transversal deck panels in glulam, applying procedures described by renowned researchers and adapting them for Brazilian Code conditions. Tables for pre-dimensioning for such kind of bridges with span ranging from 8 to 20 m for TB-30 and TB-45, as well as construction details.
