This case study presents an overview of the usage of link slabs to eliminate bridge joints. Representative state agency practices are reviewed. State procedures selected for review have either large numbers of installed link slabs, available design details, or innovative installation techniques. General background for link slab usage is presented f

This is one of five fliers that highlight aspects of coordination between Information Technology (IT) and Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) in transportation agencies. Each flier draws from Principles and Strategies for Effective Coordination of IT and TSMO, a Reference Document.
Continued stability and performance of long-span truss bridges after loss of a critical member is broadly attributed to “redundancy” because of alternate load paths (ALPs). This report presents an extensive investigation on the load-path redundancy of long-span truss bridges, including quantification of ALP, defined as the spectra of surrounding me

Magnetic imaging tomography (MIT) scanning is a nondestructive method for measuring the alignment of dowels placed at transverse joints of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs). Several highway agencies across the United States have adopted specifications for dowel alignment, with many using the joint score measure. However, this measure was dev

In an era of emerging vehicle automation technologies and advanced traffic management strategies, traffic simulation has become an indispensable tool for giving agencies the confidence they need for adoption and implementation. Likewise the importance of calibration cannot be overstated, because there is no other way to ensure reliability of the si
