The Virginia Department of Transportation uses a cash flow forecasting model to predict operations expenditures by month. Components of this general forecasting model estimate line items in the VDOT budget. The cash flow model was developed in the early 1980's and has not been updated since 1988. This project involved reviewing and updating several

In July 1989 a test section of Dow Corning 890SL self-leveling silicone joint sealant was installed on Eastbound Interstate 90 near the Tilford Weigh Station. The application involved the routing and sealing of a 450-foot stretch of asphalt shoulder adjacent to the jointed plain PCC pavement. Two different vessel widths -2" and 1 ¼" -were used. Sea

Prestressed concrete box beams incorporated in a bridge project under construction in the Houston District encountered cracking in the notched (dapped) ends during fabrication. Because the members in question are trapezoidal in section and have internal voids, a similar problem could occur in any beam having a voided cross section and dapped ends.

Most international airline service to and from the United States today is provided by network carriers that move passengers through their gateway airports. In some cases, a carrier will take passengers to a foreign gateway and turn them over to a foreign carrier for distribution to interior points. Until recently, much of the traffic destined for n

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)initiated a state-wide freight truck origin and destination study in April of 1993. A region-wide freight truck origin and destination study was first proposed in Washington as an element of the Eastern Washington Intermodal Transportation Study (EWITS). EWITS is a six-year ISTEA planning stu
