Development Of A Priority Ranking System For Bridge Rehabilitation And Replacement, Theodore Hopwood Ii, Vishwas G. Oka

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The main objective of this study was to review a Bridge Priority Ranking System for Bridge Replacement developed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Maintenance. The system ranked bridges for improvement (rehabilitation or replacement) based on a benefit/cost ratio.

The system was used to rank a large data base consisting of 267 bridges. Analysis of the rankings revealed that the ranking system gave priority to bridges having low improvement costs. Many of those had low traffic volumes and subsequently, they had high costs of improvement per vehicle served.

The equation used to compute bridge deficiency points was revised. Several …

Evaluation Of Stone Column Stabilized Embankment Foundation, Bobby W. Meade, David L. Allen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The purpose of this study was to document construction procedures, monitor field performance, and make recommendations as to the effectiveness and future use of the stone column procedure for foundation stabilization. This effort was executed by use of field inspections, photologs, instrumentation to monitor foundation and field response, and laboratory analyses of existing and possible conditions.

Instrumentation included earth pressure meters, a multipoint settlement gage, a horizontal slope inclinometer, a settlement platform, and vertical slope inclinometers.

Leaf Scorch And Winter Drying Of Woody Ornamentals, Cheryl A. Kaiser, John R. Hartman, Mary L. Witt

Agriculture and Natural Resources Publications

Leaf scorch may occur on any species of tree or shrub. This foliar symptom indicates that not enough water is reaching the leaves. Leaf scorch is generally not infectious; however, a bacterial infection has been associated with leaf scorch in some trees.

Broadleaf evergreens and needled evergreens are subject to a winter condition similar to leaf scorch. This condition is called winter drying. Rhododendron, magnolia and pine are the Kentucky plants commonly affected.
