The curing conditions stated in the AASHTO T358 standard require that concrete specimens remain fully saturated at all times in a moist room or cabinet prior to testing. These curing conditions obscure the true impact of internal curing. In order to assess the benefits of internal curing under more realistic condition, this study compared internall

The 2024 revision to 2 CFR 200 updated clauses and renamed the document as the OMB Guidance for Federal Assistance. [Effective 10-1-2024] The revisions also include changes to 2 CFR 1, 25, 170, 175, 180, 182, and 183.
Bridge deck joints frequently leak, leading to the infiltration of harmful chlorides and other solutions that accelerate the deterioration of beam ends, bearings, and substructures. To mitigate this costly maintenance issue and extend the service life of conventional bridges, the Virginia Department of Transportation has been using full-depth link
...
The durability of infrastructure components, such as prestressed concrete bridge beams, can be significantly affected by long-term deterioration associated with corrosion. Corrosion is a major concern for bridges in Virginia, due to the frequent use of deicing salts during the winter, as well as the number of structures in marine environments. The

The I-24 SMART Corridor takes a comprehensive approach to improving the safety and travel time reliability along the corridor utilizing existing infrastructure and emerging technology. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies are a key initiative of Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) by aligning with several strategic goals of TDOT inclu

This research compares the current methods used by ALDOT in developing bridge pier scour calculations, based on FHWA HEC-18, with alternative methods using the Observational Method for Scour and propose methods for pier scour real time monitoring. The work performed entailed the development of pier scour depth estimates in four Alabama bridges usin

As California advances its ambitious goals for transportation electrification to combat climate change, hydrogen-powered fuel cells are emerging as a viable solution for overcoming the challenges of heavy-duty vehicles, offering an efficient alternative to lithium-ion batteries because they produce minimal chemical, thermal, and carbon emissions. O

One-way flagging operations in Utah are a balance between meeting the needs of UDOT and contractors by allowing time and space on the roadway for work to be done, while also meeting the needs of the traveling public. Currently, UDOT predicts queue lengths and travel time for such operations by using traffic models in order to effectively plan and m

The overall goal of this study was to obtain information on trash generation and discharge from Significant Trash Generating Areas (STGAs) to determine the effectiveness of selected controls and demonstrate full trash capture efficiency. The study monitored eight STGAs with on-land visual trash assessments for general trash accumulation. In additio

The geospatial modeling framework includes Direct Geohazard Impact Tools, which estimate debris flow triggering rainfall intensities and sediment erosion along transportation corridors based on predicted wildfire burn severity scenarios, and Downstream Impact Tools, which assess sediment delivery from hillslope erosion and debris flows to river net
...
The UDOT Post-Wildfire Geohazard Assessment Toolkit is a GIS-based toolset designed to evaluate post-wildfire sediment hazards. The toolkit integrates precompiled geospatial datasets with user-supplied burn severity data to estimate debris flow probability, sediment production, and sediment delivery to river networks. The geospatial toolkit include

Some school districts schedule elementary schools with early start times for various reasons. Such start times sometimes necessitate travel before sunrise during winter months. Intuitively, this could potentially conflict with a desire for increased use of active transportation, e.g. from the Safe Routes to School program, to reduce motor vehicle t

Periodic maintenance of bridge decks through patching repairs is an essential strategy to maintain an effective transportation network. However, poor performance of patched sections needs to be studied to develop appropriate material selection methodology and proper construction practices to achieve durable repairs. The principal objective of this

Balanced Mix Design (BMD) is an asphalt mixture design method that replaces some aspects of traditional volumetric design with performance testing for the most common distresses, such as rutting and cracking. This approach provides an opportunity to properly design and produce engineered asphalt mixtures, including those with higher reclaimed aspha

Louisiana Transportation Research Center (LTRC) is frequently tasked with conducting forensic investigations of asphalt concrete (AC) pavement sections that have failed to meet performance expectations. However, thus far there have been limited efforts to identify and extract insights from pavement sections that have consistently surpassed expectat

An increasing number of concrete overlay projects in Iowa and around the United States have used fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) mixtures. Fibers provide residual strength to concrete mixtures, and concrete overlay design procedures currently assume that fiber reinforcement enhances fatigue life. A number of studies have suggested that fibers may o

The objective of this project is to update and transfer existing information into the AASHTO TTS format and make all courses 508 compliant. As part of the updates, it has been determined that it is necessary to develop an additional elective course on 508 compliance and accessibility.
This project aimed to investigate the impact of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in real-world crashes and near-crashes. The project considered the perspectives of motorists and law enforcement officers. A survey and interviews gathered information about the motorist's understanding of ADAS and the characteristics of the incident and the v
