Providing for the safety of traffic traversing construction and maintenance work zones is becoming increasingly complex, and over the past several years, temporary concrete barriers have come into use as a means of protecting work crews as well as motorists. This report discusses five delineation systems for such barriers, including the system pres

The design criteria for reinforced box culverts currently used are primarily empirical in nature, and do not allow for the effects of soil-structure interaction. These effects have been shown to make a considerable difference in certain situations. In order to have a better understanding of the field behavior of R.C. box culverts, in another resear

In the fall of 1980, an experimental ice detection system was installed on the Fremont Bridge in Portland, Oregon. this bridge, which caries I-405 over the Willamette River, has a history of icing problem when the deck is wet and the temperature hovers near freezing. The upper deck of the main span is especially vulnerable because of its height and
