Two types of structures were analyzed in the paper: Glued laminated timber structure, Cambered beam span of L = 24.00 m and Glued Laminated pedestrian timber bridge, two-hinged arch, span of L = 26.00 m plus two simple supported beams span of L = 12.5 m each.
He later served as chairman of the Delaware State Highway Commission between 1938 and 1939, during which time he oversaw construction of the second bridge to span the Indian River Inlet, replacing a 1934 timber bridge.
