With the dwindling of fundings for new highway construction, greater efforts have to be placed on maintaining and improving existing facilities. The impact of any capacity improvement on adjacent land use or on traffic volume growth rates is a subject of concern to transportation officials. Previous studies on the subject do not draw conclusive res

A study was conducted to determine the degree of respiratory and visual protection given to the female crewmember by various crew oxygen mask/goggle combinations. The acceptance criteria for the mask/goggle combinations were for 10 of 12 test subjects to maintain a contaminant ratio of 0.05 or less in the oxygen mask and/or simultaneously 0.1 or le

The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation (SDHPT) currently uses two types of guardrail posts: (1) a circular wood post and (2) a steel W6x8.5 post. The current specifications require the steel post to be placed in a concrete footing. However, the concrete footing is not required for the wood post. Because of this requirement

In the last five years, oil field exploration and development has rapidly expanded in Texas. Because of the resulting impact on rural roads, the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation wanted to provide a means of predicting the present and future effects of oil field development on rural highways. The main objectives of this researc

A portable precast concrete, traffic barrier has been designed which utilizes 15 ft (4.6m) barrier segments. The barrier should be much more portable than barriers currently in use in Texas which employ 30ft (9.1 m) segments. Barrier segments are attached with two C5x9 steel splice channels and four 1-1/8 in. (2.86 cm) steel bolts. This joint const
