This paper presents the major findings of a study to develop a system design for the implementation of an electronic network which uses personal computers in local highway maintenance...
General Purpose Microcomputer Software for Transportation Engineering Applications
A transportation agency or firm faces the challenge of being suitably equipped to gather, reduce, and analyze large amounts of data. The organization must then communicate the meaning...
Improving the Graphical Interface in Transportation Planning Software
This paper examines the general issues that drive the development of graphics as a medium for transportation planners. Transportation planning has changed over time, and so has the nature,...
Bridge Management Research Needs
The present article deals with some aspects of bridge management of particular interest to bridge engineers and to bridge users at the moment. It addresses questions such as life-cycle...
Seismic Assessment and Renovation Study for Highway Bridges
This paper is concerned with hazards mitigation on highway bridges due to earthquake ground motions. Damage to transportation systems may occur if the acting faults of May-Shan and Tsu-Kou...
Design of the Main Bridge of the Huachiang Bridge
The Huachiang Bridge will be reconstructed by erecting the deck structure in two steps to avoid reducing or interfering with the bridge's traffic flow. Both the analysis and the detailed...
Design of Stay Cables
Cable stayed structures, consisting of slender superstructure, stay cables and pylons are optimal systems for long span structures with regard to design an economy. The important function...
Developing a New Construction Policy for Bridge Management
The SHRP Program and other rehabilitation strategies are based on extending the life of concrete bridge elements. In the Bridge Inventory are a number of bridges that must be reconstructed....
Nondestructive Inspection of Steel Bridge Members
Assessment of the conditions of an aging population of bridges in order to determine the proper maintenance or retrofit operation is a challenge of great importance to bridge engineers...
