The proposed substructure system described in this report has been developed to improve the aesthetics and reduce the construction time of the support structures for standard bridges. The form of the proposed substructures is highly attractive, and is a distinct improvement over many traditional short- and medium-span bridge substructures. The subs

This manual presents recommendations and guidelines to improve the design and construction of permanent ground anchor walls. The recommendations are based on research performed on two full-scale wall sections, four model-scale walls, 10 large-diameter ground anchors installed in a fine-grained soil, analytical studies, and experience. It focuses on

Approximately 30 percent of all vehicle related fatalities that occur each year are caused by a single vehicle leaving the road and striking a fixed object; the most common objects struck being trees, guardrails, and utility poles. In many cases current crash cushion systems are not cost effective to be installed on such obstacles. In addition to h

This report summarizes 23 years of work undertaken in Texas to understand the reasons for significant performance differences found in pavements placed around the state. To a significant degree, pavement performance can be predicted based on the concrete material properties, on the environmental conditions prevailing when the pavement was placed, a

The parties agree that air traffic controllers serve in a unique, complex and safety critical occupation. This collective bargaining agreement is designed to improve working conditions for air traffic controllers, facilitate the amicable resolution of disputes between the Parties and contribute to the growth, efficiency and prosperity of the safest

This report is about a statistical analysis of 1995-96 classification and weigh in motion (WIM) data from 17 continuous traffic-monitoring sites in New England. It documents work performed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in fulfillment of 'Analysis of Vehicle Classification and Truck Weight Data of the New England States', a project for the Office

Two Portland cement concrete pavement designs are compared and analyzed for differences in their joint load transfer efficiency and slab support. The Falling Weight Deflectometer was used to gather deflection data for both pavements. The center deflections, corner deflections and load transfer efficiency are compared. The NCHRP Project 1-21 Procedu

In this research, a practical approach to identifying street safety needs for local governments has been developed. These governments are responsible for high street mileage carrying relatively low traffic volumes. Improving safety on these streets is given only limited focus in most small cities. Due to the limited funding, manpower, and traffic e

This report summarizes research activities conducted to develop a bicycle and pedestrian travel demand forecasting methodology. Previous research reports documented the literature review (Report 1723-1) and data collection activities (Report 1723-2). The appendix of this report contains guidelines for estimating bicycle and pedestrian travel demand

A survey of United States school bus operators and manufacturers was conducted to defined the larger sizes of school buses in regular use. A mid-60 passenger type-C bus (SB-C) and a mid-80 passenger type-D bus (SB-D) were selected as design vehicles. Both the dimensions (length, width, etc.) and the trace of turning path swept through 90-degree and

While the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixes is common practice within many state departments of transportation, the evolution of the Superpave system has prompted a need for specific Superpave guidelines for the use of RAP. In this study, rheological properties were measured for different combinations and percentages of aged

Research directed toward improving the design and construction of permanent ground anchor walls is presented. The research focused on tiedback soldier beam walls for highway applications. These walls are generally less than 25 ft high, and they are supported by one or two rows of permanent ground anchors. This volume is part of a four-volume report

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.i percent in September, before seasonal adjustment, to a level of 163.6 (1982-84=100). For the 12-month period ended in September, the CPI-U increased 1.5 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.1 percent in September, prior to

To meet state and federal mandates, state fleets, federal fleets, and fuel provider fleets must acquire alternatively fueled vehicles (AFVs). The Kansas House Bill 95-2161 exceeds the federal energy policy act regulations for state fleets. AFVs includevehicles fueled by ethanol, methanol, propane, natural gas, and electricity. This report includes

The principal goal of this project was to evaluate the operational effectiveness of the Changeable Lane Assignment System (CLAS) as a space management tool to optimize daily operations in a primary corridor. This project focused on the operational evaluation of CLAS under recurrent conditions, both before and after CLAS was used to change lane assi

The objective of this research was to assess the repeatability of HMAC moisture susceptibility testing using the Hamburg wheel-tracking device and similar equipment. The tests were performed round-robin-style among seven laboratories. The seven participan;See also PB95-232161 and PB95-241477.;pg 22
The State of Oregon has employed the use of porous concrete surfaces (E- and F-mixes) since the 1970s. The use of porous mixes has increased substantially in the past five years. Previously, no work had been done to evaluate whether the quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) procedures used for dense-graded mixes were appropriate for open-graded
