Aging Characteristics of Open Graded Friction Courses (OGFC) and Full Porous Pavement Systems
Identify relevant sites. Measure traffic loads and aging characteristics. Document maintenance activities.
Identify relevant sites. Measure traffic loads and aging characteristics. Document maintenance activities.
Porous pavements can provide the same level of service with much less salt/de-icing. Project will identify study sites and nearby control sites, then study the sites over 2 winter seasons.
Research Objective: To develop a set of best practices for transportation practitioners to assess genetic connectivity § Do a synthesis of the literature on conservation genetics, contact conservation geneticists, and…
Traditional culvert designs may create fish and wildlife passage barriers. Project budgets are based on early scoping and preliminary estimates. Cost differences between standard culvert and bank-spanning or other alternate…
How are (or will) strategies for climate change take into account cultural considerations, especially with respect to environmental justice populations and historic values/historic preservation, on transportation projects?
How can models and methodologies be improved with respect to sensitivity to mitigation strategies such as land use and pricing; greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; how to quantify GHGs/carbon, and approaches…
How can we facilitate wildlife movement vis-a-vis transportation networks and transportation planning in the face of climate change?
This research idea was developed as part of NCHRP Project 24-27(03) “Evaluation of Bridge-Scour Research: Geomorphic Processes and Predictions,” and addresses three Focus Areas (Environmental Considerations in Planning, Project Delivery/Streamlining,…
The State Botanical Garden of Georgia will cooperate with the Georgia Department of Transportation to evaluate and trial eight regionally significant native species that will be incorporated into wildflower seed…
