This study attempts to address the deficit of the limited research that has been conducted on re-entry. Through a comprehensive literature review there were a total of six publications that addressed re-entry with nearly all of the research focused on the individual evacuee and not the decision-making process on initiating re-entry. This study also

Moisture can significantly affect flexible pavement performance. As such, it is crucial to remove moisture as quickly as possible from the pavements, mainly to avoid allowing moisture into the pavement subgrade. In the 1990s the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) adopted an asphalt pavement drainage system consisting of an open-graded asp

Double-tee bridges may need replacement after only 40 years of service due to rapid deterioration. With only one supplier of double-tee girders in South Dakota, new prefabricated bridge systems are needed to provide local governments more options when designing new bridges or replacing deteriorated ones.
