This report discusses the findings of a research project undertaken to investigate bridge scour in cohesive soils. The report presents a recommended method for predicting the extent of complex pier and contraction scour in cohesive soils. This report will be of immediate interest to engineers with responsibility for predicting the extent of scour at bridge foundations and to engineers with responsibility for designing bridge foundations and bridge scour countermeasures.

Identification of Research Needs Related to Highway Runoff Management
Author: Venner, M Leisenring, M Pankani, D Strecker, E | Size: 1.30 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Transportation Research Board | Year: 2004 | pages: 173 | ISBN: 0309088151
This report presents an analysis of research needs in the area of highway water runoff management and control. Research directors and water-quality professionals from state departments of transportation participated in a survey to identify pressing needs related to the impacts and control of stormwater runoff. The survey results were supplemented with an extensive literature review and analysis by the research team. This report will be of great value in formulating high-priority research efforts at the national, state, and local levels.

Guidelines for Inspection and Strength Evaluation of Suspension Bridge Parallel Wire Cables
Author: Mayrbaurl, R M | Size: 8.98 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Transportation Research Board | Year: 2004 | pages: - | ISBN: 0309088097
There are nearly 50 major suspension bridges in the United States, and more than half of them are more than 50 years old. To date there has been no reliable and nationally recognized procedure, either practical or theoretical, to inspect and evaluate the condition and strength of suspension bridge parallel-wire cables. This report contains recommendations for the inspection and strength evaluation of suspension bridge parallel-wire cables. It will be of immediate interest to suspension bridge owners and suspension bridge main cable inspectors. An accompanying CD-ROM contains a full account of the research leading to the development of the recommended guidelines and provides derivations of all equations.

Optimal Timing of Pavement Preventive Maintenance Treatment Applications
Author: Peshkin, D G Hoerner, T E Zimmerman, K A | Size: 967 KB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Transportation Research Board | Year: 2004 | pages: 84 | ISBN: 0309088119
This report describes a methodology for determining the optimal timing for the application of preventive maintenance treatments to flexible and rigid pavements. The methodology is also presented in the form of a macro-driven Microsoft (registered trademark) Excel Visual Basic Application--designated OPTime--available to users by accessing the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) website (http://trb.org/news/blurb_detail.asp?id=4306). The methodology is based on the analysis of performance and cost data and applies to any of the treatments and application methods that are used by highway agencies. A plan for constructing and monitoring experimental test sections is also provided to assist highway agencies in collecting the necessary data if such data are not readily available. The report is a useful resource for state and local highway agency personnel and others involved in pavement maintenance and preservation.
