The Federal Highway Administration’s National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program (NHCBP) is sponsoring the Second National Historic Covered Bridge Conference in Dayton, Ohio, June 5-8, 2013. Co-sponsored by the National Park Service’s Historic American Engineering Record and the USDA Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, this event will feature presentations from some of the leading covered bridge engineers, scholars, and builders from across the country. Topics include:

• purist versus pragmatist rehabilitation strategies
• documentation and assessment technologies
• fire protection systems
• low-cost maintenance strategies
• new covered bridge design and performance
• covered bridges as cultural artifact
• historical analysis of builders, designs, and construction techniques
Held in historic downtown Dayton, participants will also experience a timber framing demonstration, attend a reception and dinner at local historic sites and tour several historic covered bridges. The conference will offer the opportunity for exchange between a diverse audience of civil engineers, public transportation officials, academics, trades people, historians, architects, and covered bridge enthusiasts.
