Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicious application of current state-of-the-art information on traffic barriers should result in safer highways. traffic barriers, as defined herein, consist of (1) longitudinal systems, such as guardrails, median barriers, and bridge rails; and (2) crash cushion systems, such as a nest of steel drums. The report is directed primarily for use by highway designers as a guide and by maintenance groups as an aid in upgrading existing installations. Traffic barrier systems evaluated by full-scale crash tests and satisfactory service performance are presented, together with a selection procedure.

Task Force on Traffic Barrier Systems and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this document is to summarize the current state of knowledge and to present specific design guidelines for highway traffic barriers. The guidelines establish the conditions which warrant barrier protection. the type of barriers available, their strength, safety, and maintenance characteristics. selection procedures, and how the barrier should be installed dimensionally or geometrically.

This book was released on 1968 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guardrail and median barrier design information is presented which will permit the safest highways consistent with current state-of-the-art barrier technology. Since guardrail and median barrier installations are hazardous in themselves, emphasis is placed on reducing the number of installations to those which can be clearly justified. The design procedure presented involves two steps: (1) determination of points and length of need for the installation, and (2) selection and layout of appropriate guardrail or median barrier system.

Download or read book In service Experience with Traffic Noise Barriers written by William Bowlby and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1992 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway environmental engineers, noise analysts, design engineers, maintenance personnel, planners, administrators, and others responsible for the design, selection, and maintenance of noise barriers or other traffic noise abatement policies. Information is provided on current state practice associated with noise abatement techniques and on the various products that are used. This synthesis describes the state of the art with respect to traffic noise abatement procedures, especially noise barriers. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides information on the design, construction and maintenance of both new (Type I) and retrofit ( Type II) noise barriers. The design elements that are addressed include materials, the selection process, service life, foundations, drainage, aesthetics, and safety. The construction section covers technical problems related to surface effects, durability, snow damage, and costs. Other noise abatement measures such as insulation and highway design alternatives are also addressed. The issue of public demand and availability funding is included, and recommendations are made to improve the situation.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The guide presents the results of a synthesis of current information on the various elements of traffic barrier systems, including warrants, structural and strength characteristics, maintenance characteristics, selection criteria, and placement data. Criteria on these elements are summarized for each of the four basic barrier types, namely, roadside barriers (heretofore commonly referred to as guardrails), median barriers, bridge rails and crash cushions. A chapter on a cost-effective selection procedure is included, primarily to provide the highway engineer with an alternate approach to the more conventional means of establishing barrier need and a barrier selection if warranted.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
