Normal acceleration characteristics of the leading vehicle in a queue at signalized intersections on arterial streets

Creator:

Zhu, Hong

Abstract:

Normal acceleration characteristics of passenger cars provide valuable information for various aspects of transportation engineering, including use in the geometric designs of intersections, freeway ramps, passing lanes, acceleration lanes, turning bays, or in the development of traffic simulation or fuel consumption models. However, the data used in previous studies are...

Experimental and analytical evaluation of conventionally reinforced deck-girder bridge bent caps with vintage details

Creator:

Senturk, Ahmet Ekin

Abstract:

Many conventionally reinforced concrete deck girder (RCDG) bridges were built in the US during the 1950s, throughout the expansion of the Interstate System. Designs followed the AASHO standard of the time, which permitted higher shear stress in concrete and reduced detailing requirements than permitted by current specifications. Many of these...
