This study aimed to investigate the behavior of steel and concrete girder bridges with tall haunches and develop corresponding design guidelines. The research involved conducting push-out tests to assess the capacity and limit states that arise in the composite connection between bridge girders and concrete decks with tall haunches. Additionally, t

The depth to bedrock is perhaps one of the most important surfaces that is fundamental to many practical engineering and geological problems. Yet it is not well understood everywhere. Knowing the depth to bedrock for transportation projects not only influences cost but may also affect selection of the appropriate foundation system for a particular

The objective of this report is to provide a benchmark for elevator managers in assessing performance and supply a source for recognizing trends in the characteristics of North Dakota elevators. This report and the statistics mailed to individual elevators are presented as a source of information for elevator managers and those interested in the No

For over 20 years, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has used externally bonded carbon fber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) to repair concrete bridges damaged by over-height vehicles, corrosion, or to increase shear capacity. Recently, there has been an increase in CFRP repairs to increase the shear capacity of concrete bridges.

Occupant protection discussed in this fact sheet includes seat belts, car seats for children under 5 years old, and frontal air bags in passenger vehicles. Passenger vehicles consist of passenger cars and light trucks (pickups, SUVs, and vans) with gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWRs) of 10,000 pounds or less. Vehicle occupants include drivers and

The overall goal of this study is to investigate the anticipated performance of steel sheet-pile bridge abutments to encourage its wider application to not only new construction but also repair and replacement of existing water-crossing bridges in Nebraska. For this purpose, this study first reviewed several bridge cases with axially loaded sheet p

PDF
Each month the Department of Transportation releases an Air Travel Consumer Report that includes information about various service quality elements, including flight delays, mishandled baggage, over sales, and a variety of other types of consumer complaints. In response to an increasing number of inquiries from consumers about domestic airline pric

INDOT spends at least 8 million dollars annually on geotechnical site investigations, not including the amounts spent by contractors. The laborious and costly job of data collection in geotechnical practice requires the efficient storing and organizing of this valuable data to develop correlations and trends in spatially varying geotechnical data.

This project addresses two critical needs: to update existing Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) turfgrass recommendation lists and to develop a new process to keep lists continually updated in a fair manner with data-driven recommendations. The authors evaluated the current list of MnDOT-approved turfgrass varieties and found underperf

The introduction of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) dowels as possible alternatives to the epoxy-coated and stainless-steel dowels, was contemporaneous with a paucity of knowledge of their long-term performance. Although various isolated efforts had examined them on a short-term basis and produced some qualitative results or long-term predictive mod

The scope of this study is to provide recommendations on how administrative assistants and business analyst jobs may be redesigned and aligned with technological changes and the job market dynamics and how employees, processes and technology may be managed to better meet MDOT SHA’s needs.
Permit regulations and heavy traffic monitoring procedures are developed to provide safety and protect the infrastructure from accelerated wear and tear. The number of issued permits is growing, but the impact of the overloaded vehicles has not been quantified. Alabama permit fee schedule has not been changed for decades; therefore, there is a need

The goals of this project were to research the best method of utilizing information to update ROW maps, determine the best method to create a ROW map product that could integrate future Real Estate functions, determine what ROW map product would be best for moving towards a GIS and create a simplified map search functionality. To accomplish the pro

In Michigan, four pilot long-life pavement sections were constructed between 2017 and 2019; two rigid and two flexible pavements. Each pilot project included a long-life and an accompanying standard (control) section constructed on the same highway. Modifications to standard designs and materials were made to extend their service life. The scope of

The main objective of this study is to assess and evaluate PennDOT’s current specifications for wind loading on completely erected steel girders with diaphragms installed but prior to the placement of the deck. Current specifications are evaluated with respect to recent changes to AASHTO’s wind loading procedures for bridges under construction base

Many bridges have drainage systems and expansion joints that are not typically found on mainline roadways. Standard mechanical sweepers are well-suited for mainline roadways and standard drains; however, these machines tend to push incompressible debris into bridge drains, which can easily lead to blocking of the drains and to subsequent flooding.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has had inconsistent success in sealing vertical cracks in concrete structures. This necessitated the investigation of the performance of different sealant types and application methods to address the concern of proper crack sealing in concrete substructures that cannot be routinely investigated. For
