In recent years, open-graded friction courses (OGFC) of hot mxi asphalt concrete have been widely used by the Oregon State Highway Division (OSHD). Typically, conventional asphalt cement is used as a OGFC binder. However, in Oregon, several binders are available that use asphalt modified by the addition of polymers. To see if these binders increase

The U.S. air traffic control (ATC) system is failing to keep pace with the needs of commercial aviation. Airline traffic has increased by 68% since deregulation. But the workforce is one-third smaller in relation to traffic levels than before the 1981 controllers' strike, and the computers, radars, and other equipment are generally outdated and unr

This report focuses on three primary aspects or categories of highway cost: 1. transportation agency costs ("build-sooner" costs), 2. net resource costs (which affect the broader society), 3. highway user costs.
This report documents the surface recycling of 7.4 miles of route U.S. 90 from the junction of La 99 to Jennings, Louisiana. The specialized recycling equipment was provided and operated by Remixer Contracting Co., Inc. of Austin, Texas. Roadway production included heating the existing pavement, milling to a 1.5 inch depth, adding rejuvenator and n

Shredded rubber tires have been used as lightweight fill in repair of a landslide that occurred under a highway embankment in mountainous terrain on Highway US 42 (Oregon State route #35). The force driving the slide was decreased by removing the soil embankment and replacing it with a lighter weight embankment constructed with shredded tire chips.

The need to reduce Minnesota's dependence on land fills resulted in a unique cooperative venture by three state agencies. A partnership was forged between the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) to investigate the use of recycled tire

Research has developed railings to withstand impact loads from vehicles of ever-increasing size; however, aesthetic considerations have been overshadowed by safety and structural requirements. The objective of this research study was to develop aesthetically pleasing, structurally sound railings that can serve as alternative railings in city or urb

A field evaluation of Texas highway pavements was conducted to provide evidence that sand-size aggregate particles have a significant influence on rutting. A laboratory investigation was performed in order to (1) quantify the influence on resistance to rutting when rounded, smooth, sand-sized aggregate particles are replaced by rough, angular, poro

The public power to control the use of land is primarily exercised by city and county officials in Virginia. Control over the location and characteristics of transportation facilities, including roads and mass transit, is exercised primarily by the Commonwealth through the Virginia Department of Transportation. Unlike most other states, Virginia re

In 1986, the joint research effort between the Oregon State Highway Division (OSHD) and Oregon State University (OSU) resulted in a recommended CIR mix design procedure for asphalt concrete pavements. Recent research focused on verifying and/or modifying this mix design procedure. A research study was conducted based on projects constructed during

Premature rutting of road pavements constructed for hauling coal and logs is common. Although these roads carry low volumes of traffic, they are subjected to heavy and channelized wheel loads. Unfortunately, conventional asphalt mixes containing aggregates less than 1-in. maximum size in the base or binder course tend to develop premature rutting u
