The purpose of the research was to develop traffic-safe end treatments for parallel-drainage structures that would not appreciably restrict water flow. Guidelines or warrants for use of the end treatments were also developed. Parallel-drainage culverts are used to convey water under driveways, side roads, or median crossovers. Preliminary designs w

The purpose of this report is to discuss the occurrence and consequences of bleeding pavements, methods for correction of bleeding pavements and a procedure for evaluation of corrective alternatives. For purposes of this report, bleeding (or flushing) is the presence of excess asphalt, or a film of asphalt on the pavement surface.

Several large thin-webbed box girders, with post-tensioned anchorage zones designed in accordance with AASHTO and ACI requirements, have experienced large cracks along the tendon path in the anchorage zones at the design stressing load. Cracking of this nature provides a path for penetration of moisture and salts and thus presents a potential corro
