Montana’s timber bridge inventory includes over 600 state and county owned bridges, many more than 80 years old and showing visible deterioration. Traditional girder repair methods, such as steel hangers and timber or steel sister girders, are heavy, labor-intensive, and often lack well-documented performance verification. Fiber-reinforced polymer
