This study was initiated to determine the properties of concrete using three types of coarse aggregate. The coarse aggregates evaluated in this study included silicious gravel, the standard aggregate for concrete in the state, with sandstone and limestone as possible alternatives.The main objective of this study was to determine whether limestone a

The purpose of this manual is to provide design guidelines forlow water stream crossings (LWSCs). Rigid criteria for determining theapplicability of a LWSC to a given site are not established since eachsite is unique in terms of physical, social, economic, and politicalfactors.Because conditions vary from county to county, it is not theintent to pr

The retaining walls which are dealt with in this report are drilled shaft retaining walls. For these walls, the resistance to overturning is developed from the embedded part of the wall by flexural rigidity. In a first part the basic finite difference method of solving such retaining wall problems is described and a simple example is given. In a se

Trends in cost, revenues, subsidies, and performance indicators were examined to determine the effect of subsidies on financial and performance aspects of the Texas transit industry. Regression analysis was used to identify influential factors on costs. Positive significant relationships were found for non-subsidy variables: city size, fleet size,

This report presents a computerized delay savings model which can be used to calculate the delay savings resulting from an improvement of an existing highway facility. The delay savings come as a result of the increased average speed along the improved facility, which is converted into dollars of delay savings, calculated for each year through a 20

Many transit operators routinely collect ridership data in order to provide a basis for the planning of bus services. Often a survey is conducted of bus riders to determine their riding habits, their views about the quality of current service, and their ideas about how service could be improved. For many transit operators, a bus rider survey is the

Direct coastal exposure imposes serious problems to structural and reinforcing steel in bridges. Corrosion causes expansion of the steel resulting in a variety of problems including spalling of reinforced concrete. This problem can become especially severe under the deck where salt-laden moisture condenses and is not washed away by the rain.The Yaq
