2. LVL STRUCTURES IN FLOORS, WALLS, ROOFS AND IN SPECIAL APPLICATIONS 2.5.8 Bridges Robust LVL-C panels can be used as pedestrian bridge decks supported on, e.g., glulam main beams. A 75 mm thick panel has the required resistance against maintenance vehicle wheel point loads and the bracing design of the bridge is straightforward using the solid panels. LVL-C panels allow up to 1.8 m spacing of main beams and secondary beams or, if the main beam spacing is small, secondary beams are not needed. Only two panels are needed for a typical 3.6 m bridge width. The deck needs a protective layer against water ingress on the top side, but impregnation against decay is not needed.
