Timber bridge is a kind of bridge built with timber as the main building material, which is eco-friendly, lightweight and aesthetic, convenient for construction and reliable in performance. In recent years, as the gradual recovery of forest resources in China, the processing, anticorrosion and connection technologies of modern timber structure are improving continuously, and timber bridge has become an ideal type for middle and small span bridge construction. To better adapt to the current situation of bridge construction, promote the application and development of wooden bridges, the application status of timber bridge, timber decking technology, the detection and strengthening technology, timber-concrete combined bridges and other aspects are summarized in this paper. Hoping to assist the reference of practitioners in the industry.
