The Noise Mitigation Plan for Stapleton Airport
In March 1984, seven communities in the vicinity of Denver's Stapleton International Airport completed a year-long study of methods to reduce the adverse noise effects from...

New Pavement from Old Concrete
Recycling portland cement concrete has gained momentum as an alternative to resurfacing aging highway and airfield pavements. Recycling cuts down rawmaterial requirements, reduces the...

Underground Oil Lens Management at John F. Kennedy International Airport
Observation wells plumbed using a water surface detector and standard topographic interpolation techniques were used to establish the hydraulic gradient of the groundwater and the presence...

Roller Compacted Concrete
Roller compacted concrete has emerged recently as an economical material and rapid method of construction for use in gravity dams, overflow structures and heavy duty pavements. The economics...

LAX Engineers Beat the Clock
Foreign and domestic crowds flying in for the Olympics were no problem for the Los Angeles Airport (LAX), thanks to the expansion and improvements completed a month earlier. LAX more than...

Microcomputers in Highway Drainage Design
This paper discusses some of the benefits and uses of microcomputers in highway drainage design and discusses the programs presently being developed. Subjects covered include hydrologic...

Emerging Technology?A Solution to Airport Access Problems
This paper reviews airports which presently have employed people movers, the problems they are solving, and potential use for solving access problems and create added value for the investment...

Applications of Automated People Mover Systems at Airports
The purpose of this paper is to present a 'status report' of actual and proposed applications of people movers at airports. It presents background and historical...

A People Mover for O'Hare International Airport
The paper addresses the considerations explored and the final plan identified as the most acceptable solution for implementation of an automated people mover at the Chicago-O'Hare...

The Birmingham, England, Airport Maglev Transit Link
This paper outlines the principal design and operating features of the world's first magnetically-levitated transit link which went into public service at Birmingham Airport...

Automated People Movers?The Need for Flexibility and Clarity
The Airtrans System at Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport is the best example available of how an automated people mover (APM) might function in an urban setting. An examination of Airtrans shows...

AIRTRANS System Maintenance
This paper addresses AIRTRANS, and in particular, its maintenance organization, facilities, tasks and methodologies. Recognizing that other automated people movers (APM's)...

Tensile Fracture and Fatigue of Cement Stabilized Soil
Portland cement stabilized soil is widely used as a base material for roads, airfields, and similar structures. Cracking in this material is studied using fracture mechanics concepts....

Rigid Pavement Rehabilitation: Interstate 95?Duval County, Florida
Rehabilitation studies have been conducted on Interstate 95 in Duval County, Florida. The rigid, unreinforced pavements were constructed in the late 1950's and 1940's....

Basic Considerations for the Planning and Implementation of an Urban Area Traffic Sign and Pavement Marking Microcomputer Based Inventory and Record Keeping System
This paper presents basic concepts and operations which are necessary to put into place a microcomputer based inventory system. The paper briefly examines past experience, discusses microcomputer...

Pavement Management Data Collection and Analysis
Pavement management systems (PMS) quantify the inventories of maintainable elements under an engineer/manager's jurisdiction including roadways, shoulders, bridges, culverts, guardrails,...

Recent Developments, Future Needs and Opportunities in Pavement Technology and Management
The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) represents a massive research effort aimed at developing implementable solutions to five well-defined pavement problem areas. Pavement management...

Developments in New and Existing Materials
Materials engineering has emerged as an identifiable professional practice within civil engineering in the past few years. Although materials engineering is not new, the concept that this...

Rating Pavements by Computer
Pavement rating is a necessary and labor-intensive job and one with a high turnover rate of personnel. Also, rating scores are often inconsistent from day to day, or between different...

What Do Pavements Cost?
Life-cycle costing is a rational tool used to forestall problems with highway infrastructure. Currently this tool is still an imprecise one. The Federal Highway Administration has a system...
