The glossary at StructuralWiki was initially created based on a glossary of bridge termilogy from book Bridge Engineering by J.A.L. Waddell. The book was digitized by Mr. Jeff Dodd of University of Iowa Libraries and is available online at http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/eng/. Mr. Dodd provided the kind permission to use the digitized glossary for entry into the Structural Wiki.
