Crack and Concrete Deck Sealant Performance The objective of this research project was to define the current state-of-the-art regarding the use of bridge deck sealants and crack sealers to extend the life of reinforced concrete bridge decks. The role of deck sealants and crack sealers is to prevent chloride ion ingress, originating from deicing materials spread on the road, from penetrating into the concrete bridge deck and corroding the steel reinforcing bars. The prevention of corrosion in reinforcing bars is important because corrosion generates expansion and produces local tensile forces in the concrete deck. Due to the weakness of concrete to carry tensile forces, the deck will spall and eventually deteriorate.

Crack Sealing in Flexible Pavements: A Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Pavement cracks are usually sealed to prevent water from entering base course layers. Experience suggests that water present in pavement layers hastens pavement deterioration and therefore increases rehabilitation costs. Initially, the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario (MTO) experienced only limited success in sealing cracks because of the use of inappropriate materials and installation procedures. This setback, at the initial stages of development in crack sealing, raised questions concerning the effectiveness of crack sealing in reducing the rate of pavement deterioration. In the 1970s and 1980s, MTO carried out several field studies to develop an effective crack sealing procedure and to study the influence of crack sealing on pavement distress and performance. As well, the cost-effectiveness of this treatment was investigated. The results of the studies indicate that sealing cracks is a viable and cost-effective preventive maintenance treatment which can extend the service of life of asphalt pavements by at least 2 years. However, for optimum benefits, the crack sealing program must be implemented according to the guidelines proposed in this paper. The guidelines provide a basis for the selection of suitable pavements and cracks, sealant materials, and application procedures.

Digital Image Rectification Tool For Metrification Of Gusset Plate Connections In Steel Truss Bridges A method was developed to obtain dimensional data from photographs for analyzing steel truss gusset plate connections. The method relies on a software application to correct photographic distortion and to scale the photographs for analysis. The approach enables rapid and accurate collection of dimensional measurements compared to traditional methods. Users can quickly create AutoCAD drawings by collecting dimensional information about the gusset plates from the photographs. The rectified photographs provide a record of field conditions that can be compared with subsequent field inspection results to help identify and quantify long term changes in visual characteristics. The implementation procedure is straightforward and does not require specialized knowledge of photogrammetry. It can be practically employed under field conditions using current technology and personnel, and it reduces the likelihood of data entry errors. Dimensional measurements from the method provide results that are as good conventional field measurements and are within tolerances that most engineers would find reasonable for gusset plate connection capacity evaluations.

Driving Down Lane-Departure Crashes - A National Priority Of the more than 42,000 people killed on our nation’s highways annually, over 25,000—almost 60 percent—died in crashes caused when their vehicles veered from the lane. In some cases, the vehicle crossed the centerline and was involved in a head-on crash or opposite direction sideswipe. In others, the vehicle left the roadway to roll over or impact one or more natural or man-made objects, such as trees, utility poles, bridge walls, embankments, or guardrails. And even though the rate of highway deaths has continued to decrease over the past two decades, the number of highway fatalities in the United States has remained steady. To address these devastating statistics, AASHTO by resolution of their Board of Directors in October 2007, embarked on a plan to cut fatalities by half within two decades, with an ultimate goal of zero deaths on our nation’s highways. To accomplish this goal, we need to reduce the number of traffic fatalities by approximately 1,000 per year.

Evaluation of the Cost Benefits of Continuous Pavement Preservation Design Strategies Versus Reconstruction The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has traditionally employed continuous pavement preservation (consisting of a myriad of treatment options that cost-effectively address existing pavement problems) as part of an overall design strategy to maintain the highest levels of service for highway users. However, with concern about the effects of continual weakening of substructure material layers on preservation treatment performance and cost, ADOT sponsored a study to determine the cost-effectiveness of the continuous preservation approach as compared to a reconstruction strategy. Another goal of the study was to determine the break-even point for the continuous preservation and reconstruction strategies (i.e., after how many rehabilitation treatments does reconstruction becomes equally cost-effective as continuous preservation). Using inputs such as pavement performance/life estimated primarily through pavement survival analysis, best estimate unit costs derived from historical data, work zone-related user costs, and a specified analysis period and discount rate, the total life-cycle costs for each of four alternative strategies (one continuous preservation strategy, three reconstruction strategies) for each of 15 commonly occurring pavement scenarios in Arizona were determined and compared. The results of the analysis showed a consistent reduction in total life-cycle costs with a corresponding increase (from 0 to 2) in the number of rehabilitations between original construction and the first reconstruction event. Results also showed that for 9 of the 15 scenarios, total life-cycle costs associated with the third reconstruction alternative (i.e., two rehabilitations occurring prior to the first reconstruction event) were within 3 percent (sometimes higher, sometimes lower) of the total life-cycle costs of the continuous preservation strategy. Hence, the break-even point between the two strategies typically occurs after two to three cycles of rehabilitation.

Field Evaluation of Rout and Seal Crack Treatment in Flexible Pavement This report documents a four-year evaluation study of rout and seal crack treatment for flexible pavements conducted by MTO, Thirty-seven test sites were selected across Ontario, covering different climatic and environmental conditions, Each test site was divided into five sections, 750 m long, with the control section in the middle. The performance of each test section was monitored for four years through condition surveys and photographs. Also, roughness measurements and cored samples were taken. A three-part analysis was carried out and the results are presented in this report. The analysis investigates: 1) the effect of rout configuration on sealant bond failure; 2) the influence of the treatment on pavement distress manifestations; and 3) the cost-effectiveness of this treatment in terms of extended pavement life. The results indicate that sealant bond failure in 40 mm wide x 10 mm deep rout configuration is significantly less than in 19 x 19 or 12 x 12 rout size. Secondly, the rout and seal treatment seems successful in retarding secondary crack growth and subsequently reducing the pavement distress manifestation index (DM!). Finally, the cost-effectiveness study based on limited data seems to indicate the treatment has the potential to increase pavement life by about 3-4 years.

Primer on Transportation & Climate Change AASHTO has published an information report titled Primer on Transportation and Climate Change, which serves as an introduction to the issue of climate change and its implications for transportation policy in the U.S. Primer on Transportation and Climate Change This primer is intended to provide AASHTO members with an introduction to the issue of climate change and its implications for transportation policy in the United States. This primer is based on the most recent research in the field. Its purpose is to outline for AASHTO members the current thinking of governmental agencies, researchers, and advocacy groups on the issue of climate change and transportation. The conclusions stated in those reports do not necessarily reflect the views of AASHTO or its members. AASHTO will be sponsoring additional research and will be providing the results of that research in subsequent reports. Primer: GASB 34 this Primer on the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34 (GASB 34), “Basic Financial Statements—and Management’s Discussion and Analysis—for State and Local Governments,” which was promulgated by GASB on June 15, 1999. Statement 34 calls for state, local, and municipal governments to calculate the original cost of infrastructure constructed or improved during the 20-year period prior to the Statement’s issuance date in their annual financial reports. Principles of Eco-Efficiency Analysis in Construction Applications This PowerPoint covers principles of Eco-Efficiency Analysis involving Overview Sustainability, Measuring Sustainability – Eco-efficiency Analysis, and Eco-efficiency Case Studies in Construction Applications. Procedures for the Estimation of Pavement and Bridge Preservation Costs for Fiscal Planning Facility preservation generally refers to the set of activities that are carried out to keep a facility in usable condition until the next reconstruction activity. For fiscal planning and programming, it is necessary to know the expected costs of preservation projects and how long they would last. Such information, coupled with minimum standards and facility inventory data enable estimation of overall monetary needs for bridge and pavement preservation, and would assist INDOT in undertaking appropriate programming and attendant financial planning over the long term. However, detailed engineering analyses are not possible every year because of the time and effort involved, therefore simple procedures to help estimate annual pavement and bridge preservation needs are useful for long-term fiscal planning. The study methodology consisted of first undertaking a full analysis based on engineering principles and detailed work in order to determine pavement and bridge needs for a period of time. Then simple procedures to estimate yearly pavement and bridge preservation costs were developed and the results were compared to the detailed engineering needs. Deterioration and cost models to establish engineering needs were developed using an array of statistical techniques including analysis of variance and regression analysis. Using the deterioration models, system inventory and minimum standards, the level of physical needs was determined for the entire pavement and bridge network over the analysis period. Finally, using the identified physical needs and developed cost models, the monetary needs were estimated. An age-based approach (that considers fixed time intervals instead of deterioration trends and minimum standards) was used for the bridge preservation needs. Based on the historical expenditure records and the amount of work performed in the past, simple regression models were developed to estimate future annual pavement and bridge preservation needs. The results obtained proved to be consistent with the engineering analysis.

State Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Comparison and Analysis Congressional Research Service(CRS) Report for Congress Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data can be described in several different ways, which may lead to inconsistencies when comparing data from different sources. In this report, GHG emissions include the following gases: carbon dioxide CO2), nitrous oxide, methane, perfluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. Only emissions from human-related activities are included. To examine the emissions data in aggregate, data from the six gases are converted (based on the global warming potential of the gas) into a single unit of measure: million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalents (MMTCO2E). One million metric tons equals one teragram (1012 grams), a measure used by some sources to describe emission levels. Moreover, other reports may provide emissions data in metric tons of carbon-equivalents. To convert carbon-equivalents to CO2-equivalents, multiply carbon-equivalents by 44/12. Unless otherwise noted, the data in this report come from the World Resources Institute’s Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT). The CAIT state data are compiled using the Environmental Protection Agency’s State Inventory Tool and default data for each state. Many states have prepared their own emissions inventories with more precise data, but most of these inventories only cover 1990 emissions. Although there may be slight data discrepancies between CAIT and the state inventories, CAIT serves as a homogeneous data source, providing estimates for all states and all GHGs through 2003. This report does not include land use, land use changes, or forestry (LULUCF) in emissions or intensity data. Data from these sources are generally considered less robust than data from other sources.

W Warm Mix Asphalt –What is it and how can we benefit? This presentation discusses what Warm Mix Asphalt is and what it is used for. It also details some Warm Mix Asphalt technologies. Warm-Mix Asphalt European Practice Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) is a group of technologies that allow a reduction in the temperatures at which asphalt mixes are produced and placed. These technologies tend to reduce the viscosity of the asphalt and provide for the complete coating of aggregates at lower temperatures. WMA is produced at temperatures 20 to 55 °C (35 to 100 °F) lower than typical hot-mix asphalt (HMA). In 2007, a team of U.S. materials experts visited Belgium, France, Germany, and Norway to evaluate various WMA technologies through the Federal Highway Administration’s International Technology Scanning Program. The scan team learned that the benefits of WMA technologies include reduced fuel usage and emissions in support of sustainable development, improved field compaction, which can facilitate longer haul distances and cool weather pavement, and better working conditions. A range of technologies is available to produce WMA. European agencies expect WMA performance to be the same as or better than the performance of HMA. Although several areas need to be addressed as these technologies are adapted to U.S. materials and production practices, the scan team believes that the United States has no long-term barriers to WMA use. With additional research and trials, the team expects that highway agencies will allow WMA as an alternative to HMA.
