Small Bridge Construction

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is any guidance for small-span (2-10m) bridge construction (to take the load of pedestrians and motorbikes) ideally using local materials (i.e. timber and bamboo)? I am working on a project in Liberia, but any sub-sahran Africa guidance or general developmenet good practice would be useful.

Thanks! Martin
