Predicting Costs of Pipe Cleaning and Lining Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Cleaning and cement‐mortar lining of water mains is the method of choice for many water utilities seeking to restore lost carrying capacity to their old pipes. In order to make good decisions concerning whether to clean ... -
Economic Aspects of Rail Access to Airports
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Increasing air traffic volumes at major metropolitan airports, combined with increasing congestion on the regional highway systems serving the airports, is leading to landslide capacity constraints at many airports. Faced ... -
Routine Maintenance and Pavement Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A study of the relationship between pavement performance and routine maintenance is presented. A concept for deriving this relationship is described. This concept introduces two parameters to represent quantitatively ... -
Pedestrian Characteristics Study in Singapore
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)A study conducted to examine characteristics of pedestrians in Singapore shows that the mean walking speeds of Singaporeans is 74 m/min (4.05 ft/sec). This speed is relatively slower than that of his American counterpart. ... -
Environmental Analysis by State DOT's—A Survey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)State departments of transportation are found to comply with Federal Highway Administration guidelines governing preparation of environmental documents in varying degrees. The 50 states were queried on present practice and ... -
Quantitative Approaches to Reliability Assessment in Pipe Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Two quantitative approaches to the incorporation of reliability measures in the least‐cost design of looped water distribution networks are developed and assessed. Both approaches begin by obtaining an “optimal” layout ... -
Classification Analysis of Traffic Improvement Sites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Results of an application of the case study approach to the evaluation of alternate TSM strategies is presented. The procedure is useful in the classification of potential sites relative to their expected performance ... -
Consolidating Elderly and Handicapped Transportation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Consolidation of transportation services for the Elderly and Handicapped (E & H) is an innovative, beneficial, and viable management alternative for eliminating duplication of services and waste of resources. Institutional ... -
Track Quality Index for High Speed Track
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Railroads have long faced the problem of formulating an objective measure of track quality, termed a Track Quality Index (TQI). However, the industry has yet to formulate a standardized TQI. The Federal Railroad Administration ... -
On Modular Full Depth Bridge Deck Rehabilitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Bridge deck systems consisting of a series of full depth precast concrete slab panel modules laid on steel stringers have been used for construction of new bridges as well as for rehabilitation of deteriorated bridge decks ... -
Land Development Impacts of Transit Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Economic effects relative to transit construction in urban areas take many forms. Joint development may be the most visible, but others such as increased employment, property values and tax receipts are also present. A ... -
Transportation Corridor Strategies and Land Use
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Freeway corridor transportation strategies depend, in large part, on the basic land‐use/transportation relationships within a corridor. Since freeway corridors cross through urban areas with different land‐use patterns, ... -
Economic Effects of Transit and Highway Construction and Rehabilitation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)This paper explores the economic effects of highway construction specifically as a result of economic development funds that have been available to the states for a decade. The introduction includes a research of the ... -
A Game/Simulation for Transportation Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)This paper describes a game/simulation designed to involve community members in the development and selection of Transportation Systems Management (TSM) strategies for solving neighborhood traffic problems. The simulation ... -
Microcomputer Applications in Traffic Engineering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The state‐of‐the‐art programs for microcomputers in traffic engineering are surveyed and reviewed. Several applications of the programs are presented regarding facilities management, traffic analysis and design, data ... -
Planning of Concessions in Airport Terminals
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)Concessions generate a fair amount of revenue and are an important key to the financial operation of today's large airports. Location and size are the most important factors that affect concession revenues. To check the ... -
Optimizing Dead Mileage in Urban Bus Routes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1986)The problem of determining an optimal number of buses to be parked overnight at respective garages and an optimal schedule to take buses from the garages to the starting points of their respective routes is considered. ... -
A Tale of Two Cities: Light Rail Transit in Canada
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Toronto and Montreal are often cited for having effectively tied together rail transit and land‐use planning. This paper probes whether two other Canadian cities, Calgary and Edmonton, have been equally successful with ... -
Extension of CBR Method to Highway Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)The CBR design method for flexible airfield pavements was modified in 1971, on the basis of full‐scale tests. A new load repetition factor and Equivalent Single Wheel Load computation scheme were introduced and implemented ... -
Modern Material Ropeway Capabilities and Characteristics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1985)Modern material‐handling ropeway system characteristics are described. Extremely limited in number in the United States, ropeways offer desirable characteristics in rugged terrain and in environmentally sensitive areas. ...
