This TechBrief describes both conventional methods and an alternative method for making full-depth repairs in continuously reinforced concrete pavements. The alternative method, which does not utilize continuous longitudinal reinforcement in the repair area, is suitable for repairing a single lane (or two of three adjacent lanes), and results in re

Rapidly expanding technologies associated with materials and equipment have made it possible for components of bridges and assembled composites of bridge components-sometimes even entire bridges-to be prefabricated. Bridge engineers are increasingly turning to prefabrication of bridge elements and systems to save money, to solve projectspecific cha

Bridges are an integral and important part of the highway infrastructure system and need to be designed to provide the necessary safety for the traveling public. Bridge failures can result in the disruption of commerce and services, significant repair costs, and most importantly the loss of human life. Performing a failure analysis during design, c

According to the Federal Highway Administration, over 6 million lane-miles are in rural areas, and more than two-thirds of these rural roads are owned and operated by local entities. Rural areas face a number of highway safety challenges due to the nature of their facilities. Roadway departure crashes are frequently severe and account for the major

This publication is a guidebook designed to provide information on how to create an objectives-driven, performance-based congestion management process (CMP). This guidebook describes a flexible framework of 8 actions that should be included in the development of a CMP. It also highlights the role of the CMP in addressing multiple objectives, includ

This Technical Brief provides information regarding independent assurance as it relates to activities for the evaluation of the sampling and testing procedures used in a materials and quality acceptance program.
The purpose of this primer is to introduce and define the active traffic management (ATM) and travel demand management (TDM) concepts and show the need for and benefits of integrating the concepts into efforts to address congestion on the most affected facilities. The primer provides a conceptual framework, originally suggested by the Dutch Ministr

With over 4 million miles of public roads, including more than 164,000 miles of National Highway System roadways, our nation is connected coast-to-coast and community-to-community. The 2011 edition this document includes updates on our complex roadway infrastructure, revenue and finance, travel trends, and travel behavior. It also provides the late

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) operates and maintains the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS). The HSIS is a roadway-based system that provides quality data on a large number of accident, roadway, and traffic variables. It uses data already being collected by States for managing the highway system and studying highway safety. This s
