Accident causation study on roadways with limited sight distance crest vertical curves
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Stopping sight distance is an important parameter used in the design of a roadway's horizontal and vertical alignment. Many of the parameters used in the current stopping sight distance equation were developed in the 1950s ...
Sulfate induced heave in lime stabilized soil
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The addition of hydrated lime to clay soils is one of the most common methods of soil stabilization. However, when sulfates are present in the soil, the calcium in the lime reacts with the sulfates to form ettringite, an ...
Safety effects of barrier curb on high-speed suburban multilane highways
(Texas A&M University, 1994)

An evaluation of inductance loop detector lead length and optimal speed trap distance
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Reducing congestion in our nation's urban areas has become a top priority of state departments of transportation nationwide. The development and construction of freeway management systems have recently begun to help reduce ...
Development of an electrical resistivity cone for the detection of gas hydrates in marine sediments
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Natural gas hydrates are formed when, under certain pressure and temperature conditions, gas molecules become encaged by hydrogenbonded oxygen atoms, forming a solid, ice-like crystalline substance. They have been found ...
A framework for a coarse aggregate classification system
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Coarse aggregates are the major constituents of concrete or asphalt mixtures and are widely used in various construction purposes. A classification system for these aggregates would provide a systematic means of aggregate ...
An evaluation of pavement markings and raised pavement markers at left exit lane drops
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Most highway engineers agree that freeway exit lane drops create problems in terms of safety and efficiency. A driver can create a hazardous situation when making a sudden lane change out of or into an exit-only lane. Since ...
A study of immobilization of four heavy metals by solidification/stabilization with portland cement
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Two sites were established in Harris County, Texas, to relate seasonal saturation to soil morphology, micromorphology, soil reduction potential (Eh), and iron phases; and to test a,a'-dipyridyl dye for field identification ...
Evaluation of design and operating speeds for crest vertical curves with limited sight distance
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Puerto Colon field is located in the Putumayo basin in southern Colombia, South America, and is operated by Empresa Colombiana de petroleos (ECOPETROL), which is the national oil company. The field produces from the ...
A systematic approach for characterizing waves in a model basin
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This research study focused upon the development of a general methodology to characterize regular and random waves in a large model basin. The objectives of the study were to both identify and quantify the various ...
