The purpose of this study was to obtain an understanding of the behavior and stress distribution in the haunch region of a rigid frame highway bridge. A finite element model of the haunch of the bridge was developed to permit the prediction of stress levels within the haunch region. Loadings on this region were determined using an analytical model

A questionnaire survey was conducted to determine the types of traffic signal controls utilized by state and local agencies. The majority of the equipment was found to be supplied by three manufacturers; however, there are hundreds of different pieces of control equipment in use. Much of the equipment is quite old, and while it is relatively simple

The 1973 AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridge introduced the requirement that "In no case shall an exterior stringer have less carrying capacity than an interior stringer." This statement resulted from the concern that many original exterior stringers became interior stringers when bridges were widened. Since current specifications are
