This report describes the experimental and analytical study of a rigid frame highway bridge conducted under the auspices of the Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Highway & Transportation Research Council. Data collected during the experimental phase provided measures of strains and deflections at midspan of selected girders and strain

The state of Virginia has a unilateral traffic records system whereby localities are compelled by law to provide law enforcement information to the state without any assurance that usable information will be returned to the localities. This situation has forced localities to develop and maintain their own traffic records systems to satisfy state re

Virginia has provided skid resistant pavements in the limestone area of the state by placing thin overlays of sand mixes incorporating local materials, by sprinkling highly skid resistant aggregates on limestone bituminous mixes prior to rolling, and by blending polish resistant aggregate with limestone. All of these methods have met with success,

The site conditions just about always dictate the basic layout of a structure. The choices of materials and appearance are usually made by the engineer. The materials going into the structure get a great deal of attention, but unfortunately the appearance too frequently does not. It is not unusual then to find a very few structures with deficiencie
