Abstract: Oil field traffic is identified and an estimate of increased annual cost associated with a reduced pavement serviceability is determined. Identification of oil field traffic through photographic documentation yielded a ...

Abstract: Median design policies for high-speed, divided highways are investigated to assess existing median barrier warrant criteria. Safety and cost-effectiveness analyses were conducted to determine relationships between ...

Abstract: Current work zone design and traffic control guidance is based on desirable speed outcomes; knowledge related to actual speed outcomes of design and traffic control decisions is limited. The objective of this research is ...

Abstract: A study on oil field traffic characteristics was performed and a procedure was developed for assessing current and future effects of oil field truck traffic on surface‐treated (stage construction type) pavements. A computer ...

Abstract: Contemporary visions of engineering depict a deepening professionalism, a broadening sphere of competence with technology, and an enhanced social role. Professional societies have increasingly focused on the knowledge, ...

Abstract: The facts and trends affecting entry into the civil engineering profession merit the serious attention of all those concerned with providing high-quality civil engineering services to society. An extensive market research ...

Abstract: Certain inappropriate driving behaviors (IDBs) can result in unsafe driving conditions and increased accident potential. It is believed that some IDBs may be reduced by educating the general public (specifically, high‐risk ...
