Paved shoulders in Texas are used by many drivers for making a large variety of traffic maneuvers and for satisfying numerous driving task demands. Unfortunately, there is little information as to the types and frequencies of this usage and the impacts and conditions under which they occur. This report documents research that was directed at provid

Lateral load tests were conducted on three drilled shafts in predominantly CH soil. Shaft sizes varied from 30 in. (760 mm) to 36 in. (910 mm) in diameter and 15ft. (4.6 m) to 20ft. (6.1 m) in length. Loads were applied incrementally at a point 2.6 ft (790 mm) above the ground surface. Duration of the tests was 57, 24 and 205 days. Measurements of

The formulation and solution of the multi-year District Rehabilitation And Maintenance problem is presented. The problem is formulated as a 0-1 integer nonlinear programming problem (INLP) and the solution methodology uses the concepts of relaxation, decomposition, and network formulation to convert the 0-1 INLP problem into 0-1 integer linear prog

The patterns of pavement roughness caused by expansive clays are due largely to the underlying patterns of cracks in the subgrade soil mass. The cracks will be closer together when the soil is more active and when the climatic wetting and drying cycles have greater influence. The cracking patterns in the soil and the consequent roughness patterns a
