The economic impacts of highway widening projects
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Highway widening is one alternative for increasing capacity on a particular section of roadway. Capacity is the maximum hourly rate at which vehicles can reasonably be expected to traverse a uniform section of a roadway ...
Effects of weaving on frontage road operations
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Frontage roads parallel to freeways provide access to development adjacent to the freeway while maintaining the primary mobility function of the main lanes. Weaving occurs on frontage roads as exiting vehicles attempt to ...
Numerical simulation of three-dimensional electrical flow through geomaterials
(Texas A&M University, 1998)

Development of a research methodology to study lumber waste due to design causes in residential construction
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Residential Construction faces problems regarding inefficiencies of material usage. Builders pay twice for the lumber that is wasted. Once when it is purchased and once when it is disposed. Part of the lumber waste is ...
Dynamic failure prediction of cross-rolled beryllium sheets subjected to vibration loads
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The principal objective of this investigation is to develop and verify a numerical method for prediction of failure for cross-rolled beryllium sheet structures that are subjected to vibration loads. To this end, complementary ...
An investigation of driver behavior at highway-railroad grade crossings
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Highway-railroad grade crossings are classified as either "active" or "passive" depending on the ability of the warning system to indicate the presence of an approaching train. Active crossings are characterized by warning ...
Measurement and quantification of aggregate thermal coefficient of expansion
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The coefficient of thermal expansion of concrete affects thermal related distresses in pavements. Factors affecting expansion of concrete and aggregates along with existing models are reviewed. A test method to measure the ...
An investigation to determine appropriate abbreviations for variable message signs
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
New Jersey transportation agencies currently display messages with abbreviations because of limited line capacities on variable message signs (VMSs). Abbreviations, however, are generally less understood than words and ...
Degradation of organic and inorganic contaminants by zero valent iron
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Reduction of trichloroethylene (TCE), chromium (VI), and 2,4 dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) by zero valent iron and palladized iron under anaerobic conditions was investigated. Reduction experiments of the contaminants were ...
Electrical response characteristics of soil-electrolyte systems (10kHz-10MHz)
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The electrical response characteristics of saturated soils depend on soil structure, particle orientation, effective particle size and size distribution, fluid type, fluid conductivity, volume fractions, etc. The use of ...
