Acoustic Emission And Fatigue Characteristics Of Typical Bridge Steels, Theodore Hopwood Ii, James H. Havens Apr 1978

Acoustic Emission And Fatigue Characteristics Of Typical Bridge Steels, Theodore Hopwood Ii, James H. Havens

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

Acoustic emission monitoring was used during tensile tests of low-carbon structural steels to determine the physical characteristics of the acoustic emission phenomena. Results indicate that acoustic emissions are caused by micro-plastic deformation processes (i.e., dislocation motion).

A series of axial-fatigue tests was performed on several types of structural steels, some of which had extensive service in bridges. There was no apparent relation between specimen load histories and subsequent performance in fatigue tests. Tensile tests of specimens subjected to extensive fatigue testing, at stresses below the yield strength of the material, revealed no major difference in mechanical properties or acoustic emission …


Green-Extension Systems At High-Speed Intersections [Apr. 1978], Charles V. Zegeer, Robert C. Deen Apr 1978

Green-Extension Systems At High-Speed Intersections [Apr. 1978], Charles V. Zegeer, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of green-extension systems (GES) for reducing the dilemma-zone problem associated with the amber phase of traffic signals at high-speed intersections. Reactions of 2,100 drivers were noted during the amber phase at nine Intersections, and the dilemma-zone distances with respect to the stop bar were determined.

Heating Bridge Decks By Electrical Resistance, James H. Havens, Wm. Vernon Azevedo, Assaf S. Rahal, Robert C. Deen Feb 1978

Heating Bridge Decks By Electrical Resistance, James H. Havens, Wm. Vernon Azevedo, Assaf S. Rahal, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The 9th-Street interchange was designed and constructed with an automated electrical heating system for snow and ice removal. This report describes the heating system, its construction, and initial operation. The heating system was capable of keeping the interchange free of ice and snow accumulation. The average daily slab temperature fell below 0°C (32°F) on only one occasion. The average cost of electrical power for heating the interchange was $1,075 per day.

Analysis Of System Reliability As A Capital Investment, Albert J. Williams Jan 1978

Analysis Of System Reliability As A Capital Investment, Albert J. Williams

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report, "Analysis of System Reliability as a Capital Investment", is an analysis of radar system reliability of two similar tracking radar systems as a capital investment. It describes the two tracking radar systems and calculates the mission failures rates based upon field failure data. Additionally, an analysis of a simulation program written in FORTRAN is performed which treats system reliability as a capital investment based on 335 electronic systems that were fabricated with a reliability program versus 564 electronic systems fabricated without a reliability program. The data from the two tracking radar systems, one with reliability program and the …

Analysis Of Time-Independent Consolidation Data, E. Gregory Mcnulty, Tommy C. Hopkins, C. Thomas Gorman

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The one-dimensional laboratory consolidation test developed by Terzaghi permits deformation and drainage only in the vertical direction. The stress-strain characteristics of data obtained from this test are normally studied using a semilogarithmic graphical representation, that is, vertical strain or void ratio is plotted as a function of the logarithm of effective stress. Such a representation permits an analysis of the stress history and compressibility characteristics of soils. Knowledge of these material characteristics is of great practical value in the prediction of settlement associated with loading where the effects of lateral consolidation may be neglected.
