In recent years, the concern of environmental problem is globally rising. Since amount of carbon dioxide exhaust at construct of timber bridge is much smaller than that of steel or concrete bridge, attention of timber bridge increases. It is more effective to utilize timber for railing in visual effects and decreasing amount of carbon dioxide exhaust. Although the design standard for road bridge cannot be filled with current technology to make timber railing, the standard for pedestrian bridge can be filled with it. In this study, we make prototype of timber railing for the pedestrian bridge, experimentally investigate the performance and compare FEM analysis with experimental results.
