Their popularity can be attributed to a combination of reduced construction costs, versatility, aesthetic appearance, ease of installation, and an increasing number of proprietary designs available in the market. Despite these inherent advantages, there have been some reported problems with durability of SRW blocks in cold climates. The deterioration of some SRW installations in State highway agency applications has resulted in concern over the long-term performance of SRW systems and has led to stricter specifications and in some cases, restrictions on future use of SRW systems.

Path designers and operators need guidance on how wide to make new or rebuilt paths, and on whether to separate the different types of users. The current guidance is not very specific; it has not been calibrated to conditions in the United States, and does not accommodate the range of modes found on a typical U.S. path. The purpose of this project was to develop a level of service estimation method for shared-use paths that overcomes these limitations. Based on the theory developed and the data collected, the researchers developed a level of service estimation method for bicyclists that requires minimal input and produces a simple and useful result.

The steep slopes and the severe weather at the site cause rapid erosion of exposed soils and would provide enough area to test several products. However, the severe conditions limited the plant cover established during the first growing season, so the slopes were re-seeded and fertilized several times during subsequent years. Because the re-seeding and additional fertilization were done using standard materials and methods, no data was available on the performance of the mulches, tackifiers, and germination enhancers.

Model test on similar pavements systems showed that, in terms of rut depths, the nonwoven performed better than the slit film woven geotextile for all gravel thicknesses.

Environment FHWA Publication Download Now Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Concrete with Marginal Air Content Freeze-Thaw resistance is a key durability factor for concrete pavements. Recommendations for the air void system parameters are normally:6+/- 1 percent total air, and spacing factor less than.20 millimeters. However, it was observed that some concretes that did not possess these commonly accepted thresholds presented good freeze-thaw resistance in laboratory studies. This study evaluated the freeze-thaw resistance of several "marginal" air void mixes, with two different types of air-entraining admixtures-a Vinsol resin and a synthetic admixture.

Contractors that are given full access to the road gain efficiencies that often reduce project duration and costs as well as improve the quality of the end product. These positive effects usually lead to increased favorable public sentiment, and potentially reduce both short- and long-term user costs.

In order to reduce the impact on motorists and workers, and given the availability of an alternate route with ample capacity, DelDOT decided to use a full road closure approach for the I-95 project. I-95 would be shut down completely, one direction at a time, with traffic detoured to I-495. Alternate routes would need improvement in anticipation of increased congestion during the full closure. DelDOT partnered with other agencies, the public, and private businesses to ensure project success. Together, the stakeholders developed a traffic management plan titled The Five Elements of Mobility.

Such incompatibilities are exhibited as early stiffening or excessive retardation, potential for uncontrolled early-age cracking, and unstable or unacceptable air void systems. A protocol has been phased to allow relatively simple field tests to provide early warnings of potential problems. Paved Roads FHWA Publication Download Now Identifying Incompatible Combinations of Concrete Materials: Volume 2-Test Protocol Summarizes the examples of incompatibilities with cement. Some examples are early stiffening or excessive retardations, potential for uncontrolled early-age cracking, and unstable or unacceptable air void systems. Several test methods have been reviewed to assess their usefulness in early detection and prevent pavement field problems. The protocol has two phases: relatively simple field tests to provide early warnings of potential problems and central laboratory tests to support and confirm the field work.
