This paper summarizes the economic benefits that are anticipated to flow from the FAA's Flight 2000 operational demonstration program. This quick assessment is based on the Flight 2000 Initial Program Plan, dated July 16, 1997. The analysis shows there are sufficient economic merits to justify the projected investment of $390 million outlines in th

The primary objective of the FHWA/NCEER Workshop was to recommend future directions for a national representation of the seismic ground shaking hazard for the design of new highway facilities and the evaluation and retrofit of existing highway facilities. A secondary objective was to identify areas where further research and/or development is neede

Premature rutting of heavy duty asphalt pavements has been increasingly experienced in recent years primarily due to high pressure truck tires and increased wheel loads. Many asphalt technologists believe that the use of large size stone (maximum size of more than one inch) in the binder and base courses will minimize or eliminate the rutting of he

Urban and suburban highways account for less than three percent of road miles in metropolitan areas, yet they carry more than one third of all vehicle miles traveled in our nation's cities and suburbs. As Congress tackles reauthorization of the nation's transportation law, the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), these int

Personal travel and how it changes is of continuing concern to transportation planners and policy makers. This project, Global Positioning Systems for Personal Travel Surveys, would combine self-reported information with GPS recorded information and will provide recommendations about the potential usefulness of this technology for measuring changes

Current displacement based seismic design of gravity retaining walls utilizes a sliding block idealization, and considers only a translation mode of deformation. Authors update and extend the coupled equations of motion that appear in the literature. A newly developed fundamental theory on seismic bearing capacity of soils is used to compute the se

This research investigates the engineering properties of mixtures of bottom ash and Class F fly ash relevant to their utilization in highway embankment construction. The research included ash samples from two major power plants in Indiana that disposed of their ash differently. The first power plant disposes of the bottom ash and fly ash separately

This order, published yearly, provides a listing of all airspace designations and reporting points, and pending amendments to those designations and reporting points, established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the authority of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, part 71.
This report documents the findings of the National Peer Exchange on Hours-of- Service (HOS) Compliance that was conducted by a team of State and Federal motor carrier safety delegates. The report identifies States’ best practices in the area of HOS compliance observed during site visits to 11 States during 1996.
In response to an increasing number of inquires about domestic airline prices, the Department of Transportation decided to release a quarterly fare report. This is the third report and is based on data for the first quarter of 1997. For each market, Table 1 lists the number of one way passenger trips per day, the nonstop distance, the average marke

A comprehensive experimental study was undertaken in this research effort to investigate cumulative damage in reinforced concrete circular bridge piers. Twelve identical quarter-scale bridge columns, designed and fabricated in accordance with current AASHTO specifications, were tested in two phases. Phase I testing consisted of benchmark tests to e
