This report describes the results of a field inspection and load test of three prestressed concrete highway bridges which have a prestressed panel subdeck. The panels, which are precast and pretensioned, span from beam-to-beam and serve as the bottom form for a cast-in place concrete deck. The bridges examined were located in Grayson County, Texas,

Long-associated with transportation ('railroad nystagmus'), optokinetic (OPK) nystagmus is an eye-movement reaction which occurs when a series of moving objects crosses the visual field or when an observer moves past a series of objects. Similar continual movement of the eyes (and head) has been reported to produce an undesired occupational nystagm

Ramp metering has proven to be an effective means of improving the operational efficiency of an over-crowded urban freeway. Freeway control systems can now prevent a breakdown under "normal" conditions. However, adequate control of demand under "abnormal" conditions, such as accidents or lane blockages, is not possible.
