Computer Program COM624P has been developed for use in the analysis of stresses and deflection of piles or drilled shafts under lateral loads. The program is especially written for highway engineers who wish to run the analysis on microcomputers. The technology on which the program is based is the widely-used p-y curve method. The program solves th

Section 1038(b) of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) (Pub. L. 102-240) required the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct a study of asphalt pavements containing scrap tire rubber and synthesize the experience with other recycled materials. Highway agencies have been evalu

The "Highway/Utility Guide" is dedicated to the memory of Mr. James A. Carney (Federal Highway Administration) who recognized a need, envisioned this publication, and contributed generously of his time and technical expertise towards its completion. For many years there has been a need to assemble, under one cover, state-of-the-knowledge guidance o

The Europeans have established themselves as leaders in the field of soil nailing technology and practice. The on-going and completed research projects have made a major contribution to our understanding of the mechanics of soil nailing behavior. In addition, the Europeans have significant experience with some soil nailing construction techniques t

The manual provides guidelines and procedures for designing bridge deck drainage systems, inclusing illustrative examples. Should the design process indicate a drainage system is needed, utilization of the most hydraulically efficient and maintenance-free system is emphasized. The manual also stresses the advantages of designing to minimize the com

The objective of this report is to introduce a microcomputer program for computing one-dimensional compression vertical settlement due to embankment loads. The program follows the equations presented by Lambe & Whitman (1969), Ladd (1973), and Poulos & Davis (1974). For the case of a strip symmetrical vertical embankment loading, the program superi

The report contains recommendations for performing and evaluating side impact crash tests of roadside structures like luminaire supports, guardrail terminals, and utility poles. A 50 km/h full broadside test using a small car is recommended. Evaluation criteria include recommendations for structural adequacy, occupant risk, and post collision traje

This report contains a summary of 12 side impact crash tests performed at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) to evaluate the performance of several types of roadside structures. The tests are described and results presented. The results of these tests are then combined with earlier test series and statistical models that predict dummy res
