The Virginia Highway and Transportation Research Council was asked by the State Department of Education to assist in the analysis of the driver education programs taught throughout the state. In order to do so, the Research Council developed a computer software system designed to produce a myriad of statistical data. The reporting format used disti

Static and cyclic load tests were conducted on a 16-ft long bridge constructed with fiberglass materials. Approximately 1.6 million cycles of loads were applied to the deck to study the fatigue characteristics of the bridge. The location and magnitude of the loads were selected to accelerate failure of elements and joints in the structure. Upon com

Estimates of annual average daily traffic volumes are important in the planning and operations of state highway departments. These estimates are used in the planning of new construction and improvement of existing facilities, and, in some cases, in the allocation of maintenance funds. It is, therefore, important that any method used in obtaining th
