The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has acquired fifteen Falling Weight Deflectometers (FWDs), one Seismic Pavement Analyzer (SPA), and five Portable Seismic Pavement Analyzers (PSPAs) for evaluating the structural integrity of pavements. These nondestructive testing devices use different types of sensors for measuring deflection, deform

Hydrated fly ash is produced by allowing powder fly ash (Class C) from coal power plants to cure with moisture. The hydrated (cured) fly ash becomes a stiff material that can be crushed to form a synthetic aggregate. When properly processed and compacted to optimum moisture content, the hydrated fly ash continues to gain strength after placement as

The researchers developed a methodology for statewide freight transportation planning that focuses on identifying and prioritizing infrastructure needs to improve the intermodal freight transportation system. It is designed to provide the framework for state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations to meet the freight t

Biocell technology is a soil remediation technology that utilizes commercial roll-off dumpsters as simple,yet effective bioreactors. Reported implementation costs for biocells range from $20 - $40 per cubic yardtreated. Biodegradation of some petroleum hydrocarbons has been found to be difficult in terms of boththe rate and extent of removal. Since

The goal of this study was to develop a reliable load-rating methodology for timber piles based on the level of documented damage. Louisiana currently has over 4,000 timber bridges in its inventory of over 13,800 bridges. A quarter of these 4,000 timber bridges are structurally deficient since they cannot support their design loads. One of the most

NAWCAD Patuxent River, Maryland, was tasked by the FAA to determine the High Intensity Radiated Field (HIRF) levels for civil aircraft operating in the U.S. The electromagnetic field survey will apply to civil aircraft seeking FAA certification under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAr's) Parts 23, 25, 27, and 29. The HIRF survey determined the Rotor

This report serves as the design qualification basis for both transport and facility use. headings identify report sections as containing qualification information for transport use, facility use, or both transport and facility use. This report demonstrates that the Savannah River Site (SRS) hydride transport vessel (HTV) both satisfies the require

For FY1999, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requested total funding of approximately $43 billion, a 1% increase over the FY1998 enacted level of $39 billion. The FY1999 budget request for the DOT was similar in may respects to the FY 1998 appropriation. There are many "macro" issues or factors that are influencing the debate over the Ad

Currently, no methodology is widely accepted by engineers, planners, or bicycle coordinators that will allow them to determine how compatible a roadway is for allowing efficient operation of both bicycles and motor vehicles. Determining how existing traffic operations and geometric conditions impact a bicyclist's decision to use or not use a specif

A recently completed study entitled, "The Investigation of Development of Pavement Roughness" (FHWA-RD-97-147), initiated by the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program, provides an answer to the question of how much different rehabilitation treatments reduce roughness. A component of the study investigated selected asphalt concrete (AC) reha

New Jersey Transit (NJT) is currently investigating acquisition of an automated vehicle locator (AVL) system. The purpose of the AVL system is to monitor the location of buses. Knowing the location of a bus enables the agency to manage the bus fleet more efficiently and to provide their customers with up to the minute information on bus arrivals an

In 1992 the Oregon Department of Transportation undertook an operational test of the Port-of-Entry Advanced Sorting System (PASS),which uses a two-way communication automatic vehicle identification system, integrated with weigh-in-motion, automatic vehicleclassification, and over-height detection tied into a heavy vehicle database. The purpose of t

The objective of Inspector General's (IG) audit was to evaluate Surface Transportation Board's (STB) use of fees to fund its operations. To accomplish this objective, the IG determined whether: (1) STB is assessing fees for all billable services allowed under the existing legislative authority, and (2) user fees adequately cover the cost of those s

After the National Transportation Safety Board conducted several accident investigations involving transit buses (Normandy, Missouri; Cosmopolis, Washington; New York, New York; and Nashville, Tennesee) and held a public hearing on transit bus safety in March 1998, it found that substantial safety deficiencies and little Federal or State government

This report describes the application of vehicle dynamic modeling and visualization to highway safety design within the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM). This concept is intended to allow highway engineers to test roadway designs by computer simulation of vehicle encounters with roadway geometric and to assess roadway alignment and v

This study recommends a minimum seismic reliability level for critical equipment systems located in seismically vulnerable facilities. It describes a methodology to achieve cost-effective risk mitigation and applies that methodology to a test case involving an automatic sprinkler system in a high-risk building. The study builds on previously publis

FTA assessed and rated the Transit Supportive Existing Land Use and Future Patterns of 30 candidate New Starts projects, in preliminary engineering and final design, documented in the FY 1999 New Starts Report. These land use assessments (30) examined a number of factors, including existing land use conditions, regional containment of sprawl, and t
