Investigation of Diaphragm Walls to Improve Performance, Design, and Construction
As a result of the need for tunnels, underground highways and parking structures, cofferdams, facilities related to the improvement of the environment, etc., there has been a significant...
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...
Finite Element Analysis of a Highway Bridge Hinge
A highway bridge hinge is a very important element in bridge design. It releases thermal stresses that may be developed in the superstructure or the substructure of a bridge. A common...
Wood Bridge Design Using AASHTO LRFD Specifications
A nationwide project to develop a load and resistance factor (LRFD) design edition of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standard Specifications...
Monitoring Performance of Full Scale Structures
General Physics Services Corporation (GPSC) of Columbia, Maryland has developed a device for the remote long-term monitoring of full scale structures, such as highway bridges. This patented...
Geometric Design Projects for Highways
An Introduction
This book provides an introduction to geometric design of highways by means of examaples and projects that emphasize basic specifications, approaches to preliminary route selection, alignment,...
Recycled Roads
The movement to recycle wastes in highways appears to be gathering momentum nationwide. Rubber from old tires, wood chips, reclaimed asphalt pavement, fly ash, scrap plastic, mining wastes...
Marginal Overweight Operating Scenario for DOE's Initiative I Highway Casks
This paper assesses the potential transport of high-capacity Initiative I highway casks under development by the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) as permitted marginal...
Roadmapping: A Management Tool
Roadmapping is a process used by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management (EM) to illustrate issue-based planning activities necessary...
Attitudes of the Knowledgeable Toward the Transportation of Spent Fuel
The purpose of the paper is to discuss the recent data analysis of a mail-in survey which investigated the attitudes of people having some knowledge of the nuclear industry. The survey...
F. E. Everett Turnpike: An Application of MOSS
MOSS surface modeling software is being used successfully by Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, Inc., on a major project for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to make improvements...
NOISE?A Comprehensive Software Library for Highway Noise Analysis
The Noise Software Library is a collection of highway noise analysis software tools that are arranged together under a powerful file management system which provides a transparent method...
The Application of AI in Highway CAD System
In a conventional CAD System, the process for solving a certain particular engineering problem is fixed stationary in the program. As a result, the program is often modified to fit different...
A Model to Quantify Work Space Availability for Space?Contrained Scheduling Within a CAD Environment
In any given process work area, a task or activity requires a specific amount of space for its execution. This required space must be accommodate by the physical space of the work area...
Finite Element Analysis and Design of Bridges with Applicatrons of ICAD
This paper describes applications of client-server models, interprocess communications (IPC), and concepts of intelligent CAD (ICAD) to the interactive design and analysis of highway bridge...
Finite Element Representation of Approach Slabs
Approaches to bridges are designed to provide a smooth and safe transition from the highway pavement to the bridge deck and back to the highway pavement. Generally this transition area,...
The Automation of Freeway Ramp Junctions Analysis
Congestion on urban freeways has been steadily increasing. In contrast, capacity expansion, by means of constructing new roadways, has not kept pace with the growth in demand. The primary...
A New Approach for Road Network and Bridge Planning
Road networks usually include a large number of bridges and tunnels. The locations of these bridges and tunnels are decided by the road planner during the design of the road alignment...
