This report documents an investigation into practice in other states regarding the location of telecommunication towers and fiber-optic cable in highway right-of-way. The study was commissioned by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development in February, 1998. The investigation involved a review of the literature and a survey among st

An objective view of the relative advantages and limitations of the nondestructive, testing and evaluation methods that currently used in the inspection of bridge decks is presented and discussed. The three main nondestructive testing technologies that were evaluated are impact-echo, ground penetrating radar, and infrared thermography. nondestructi

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) was established by Congress in 1967 to investigate and determine the causes of accidents in all modes of transportation. Since then, the Safety Board has investigated more than 110,000 aviation accidents and thousands of railroad, marine, highway, and pipeline accidents. The Safety Board is responsibl

The accuracy and reliability of traffic load estimates are key to determining a pavement's life expectancy. To better understand the variability of traffic loading rates and its effect on the accuracy of the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program's loading estimates, LTPP recently completed an analysis studying the effect of varying truck lo

Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) data are the foundation for new pavement designs for years to come. As such, data collected at LTPP test sites need to be as accurate and complete as possible. For the collection of truck weight data, this requires direct calibration of weigh-in-motion (WIM) scales at LTPP test sites. The purpose of this TechBr

The primary goal of the workshop was to review and evaluate a concept of phytoremediation to extract radionuclides from the soil and near-surface groundwater combined with· biomass energy production to use the contaminated biomass from phytoremediation as well as other contaminated biomass in the Chernobyl Site Exclusion Zone (CEZ). Fifty-five know

During this research project, the consultant investigated how optimal dTIMS strategies on adjacent road segments can be combined into construction projects and modifications to dTIMS were made so that this process can be done both automatically and manually. The investigation of the process by which optimal strategies can be combined took the form

Through the testing involved in this project, it has been shown that concrete made with Dacotah Type IPM cement has compressive and flexural strengths approximately 10 - 12% lower than standard Type I/II cement mixtures. This is probably due to the fact that 10% of the cement is replaced with a natural pozzolan. Cores taken from field test sections

This project investigated compatibility problems involving two concrete admixtures from W.R. Grace Products and Dacotah portland cement. The problems experienced by the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) were described as rapid slump loss, premature stiffening, and low compressive strengths. The materials investigated in this report

The transport of cargo throughout Hawaii is greatly affected by the state's unique geography. Because Hawaii comprises eight major islands remote from the U.S. mainland, many cargo customers must rely on air service as the only way to transport their goods in a timely fashion. Historically, two airlines - Aloha Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines - have

As an aid to seismic hazard assessment, this report provides a "screening guide" for systematic evaluation of liquefactin hazard at bridge sites and a guide for prioritizing sites for further investigation or mitigation. The guide presents a systematic appication of standard criteria for assessing liquefaction, ground displacement potential, and vu

Environmental instruments to measure temperature, soil moisture and frost depth were installed at five test sections of the SHRP pavement project on U.S. 23 north of Delaware, Ohio. At three of these locations tensiometers, which a designed to measure negative pore pressures, were added to the instrumentation package. The pore pressures as recorded
