Rail costs have been estimated under two separate assumptions. The first involves the development of revenue-cost ratios for the through movement of grain and grain products from country origin to final destination; the second, the development of revenue-cost ratios for the outbound portion of the movement only.

A standard Texas traffic rail type C202 was modified to increase its height and strength to restrain and redirect an 80,000 lb. (36,300 kg) van type tractor-trailer under 50 mph (80.5 km/h), 15 degrees angle impacts. The concrete parapet was increased to 36 in. (91 cm) high, and an elliptical steel rail was mounted on steel posts to increase the ra

The report briefly describes a survey of some solar energy retrofits, such as solar heaters and Trombe walls, that can be easily adapted into existing buildings belonging to the Department. With their relatively high cost, commercial solar heaters have been determined not to be cost-effective. However, homemade solar heaters are reasonably simple t

The objective of this project is to study the application of fusion-bonded epoxy coatings of rebars in bridge decks. A thin film of epoxy resin is fusion bonded to the reinforcing steel as a prevention against corrosion. A monitoring system was established to measure electrical resistance for several years after installation.

Although Louisiana has been testing and using organic zinc coatings since 1963, premature failures have occurred on bridges within the state recently. These failures were not predicted by accelerated testing which included salt fog exposure. the results of this project show that while salt fog testing cannot directly predict the longevity of field

In the late 1970s, traffic volumes were predicted to double on Canadian National Railway's already congested single track main line. In support of a plant expansion program, a transportation planning research team developed two "what-if" simulation models: the Signal Wake and Route Capacity Models to evaluate the relative effect of the many factors
