Public‐Private Partnerships in Joint Development
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)This technical note provides a definition for public-private partnerships in joint development and notes three different but equally legitimate public policy goals for joint development activities. Primary attention is ... -
Review of Financing Options for Highways and Transit
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A variety of innovative financing techniques for highway and transit is reviewed. With federal support diminishing and transportation needs growing, agencies are seeking new ways to fund transportation projects. The ... -
Tire Contact Pressure and Its Effect on Pavement Strain
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)This paper reviews current knowledge of the three components of pavement contact pressure developed by a free‐rolling tire. A finite element tire model employed to calculate tire‐pavement contact pressure is described. ... -
Public Use of Autos: Mobility Enterprise Project
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The results of experiments testing the public use of automobiles in the United States are presented. The Purdue Mobility Enterprise system was a work‐based shared‐vehicle concept, where households used mini/micro‐class ... -
Surface Condition Expert System for Pavement Rehabilitation Planning
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Pavement surface condition data play a pivotal role in the analysis and design of pavement rehabilitation strategies. In project design, this information is usually used by a limited number of pavement engineering specialists ... -
Designing Noise Barriers Using Expert System China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The expert system is a relatively new application of artificial intelligence technology that is beginning to emerge in the field of civil engineering. This new computer‐aided tool has the potential to significantly affect ... -
Application of Expert Systems in Air Traffic Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)Increased automation of air traffic control (ATC) systems appears to offer a solution to the dual problem of handling higher levels of air traffic while reducing the costs incurred by the ATC system itself and the aircraft ... -
Performance Study of Surface Treated Crushed Rock Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The performance of a thin, crushed rock surface treated pavement is predicted using mechano-lattice analysis and the results are compared with actual performance after the passage of the equivalent of 250,000 standard ... -
Local Air Service and Economic Impact of Small Airports
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The purpose of this study is to investigate some concepts regarding the role played by local airports in the economies of the regions they serve. The writers attempt to formulate a conceptual framework for the study of ... -
Tort Liability and Risk Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)During the past decade, many have questioned the propriety of the doctrine of sovereign immunity; numerous legal challenges and legislative changes have eroded the doctrine in most states. Following the 1979 modification ... -
Field Performance of Deep Polymer Impregnation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)A test installation of deep polymer impregnation was applied to an 8‐yr old, heavily traveled bridge deck in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1975. While no surface spalls existed, the chloride contents at the level of the top ... -
Estimating Effect of Vehicle Characteristics on Fuel Consumption
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The effect of vehicle characteristics on fuel consumption is calculated using a basic energy-related model of instantaneous fuel consumption and on-road second-by-second speed, acceleration, and grade data. By integrating ... -
Chemistry of Deicing Roads: Breaking the Bond between Ice and Road
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1987)The rates for breaking the bond between ice and road surfaces are measured as a function of temperature, type of road surface, and chemical application. Surfaces of asphalt, concrete, and brick give indistinguishable ... -
Erratum: “Estimating Fuel Consumption from Engine Size” by Tenny N. Lam (July, 1985, Vol. 111, No. 4)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986) -
Buried Concrete Pipe Embankment Installation Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The paper first summarizes the conventional approach for determining load on buried concrete pipe for embankment installations. A finite element computer method that provides a more precise and versatile approach to pipe ... -
Vehicle Classes for Pavement Design and Capacity Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Transportation engineers working in Colorado were aware of a lack of published data at both the local and national level for vehicle classes on urban streets. Such vehicle class breakdowns are necessary for calculating ... -
Equilibration Procedure to Forecast Areawide Travel
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A simple supply/demand equilibrium procedure for urban areawide travel‐estimation is presented. The parameters used in this procedure are demand elasticities, trip‐making frequency rates, average trip durations, and the ... -
Multiattribute Aircraft Choice for Airline Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Multiattribute decision‐making methods were used to solve the problem of choosing aircraft size and the corresponding network composition. Prior to ranking, a model was developed to calculate flight frequencies offered to ... -
Erratum: “Discussion of “Subgrade Contact Pressures under Rigid Pavements” by Anastasios M. loannides (May, 1985, Vol. 111 No. 3)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986) -
Modeling of Queue Dissipation for Signal Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Simulation analysis of alternative signal control strategies requires a realistic queue dissipation model. Past efforts in modeling queue dissipation focus on queue discharge headways and neglect other aspects of queue ...
