Field and Laboratory Tests of a Proposed Bridge Deck Panel Fabricated from Pultruded Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Components
… exhibited a safety factor with respect to legal truck loads of greater than 10. The second deck was subjected to AASHTO design loads, and under a simulated HS-25 axle plus impact the deck exhibited a maximum deflection of L/470. Upon completion of the laboratory testing, the second deck was …

Impact of regulation on trucking carrier prices and capacity
… analyzes the impact on prices and capacity of trucking industry due to the introduction of ELD mandate. This mandate requires truck drivers to record their working hours in a specified electronic device instead of a pen and paper method. This thesis utilizes the change in average truck driver …

Evaluation of Field Tests Performed on an Aluminum Deck Bridge
… collected from full-scale testing under test truck loading of an in-service ALUMADECK bridge system. The bridge is known as the Little Buffalo Creek Bridge and is located in Mecklenburg County, VA. The topics researched from the load tests are the composite action amongst the deck and …

Behavior of hollow-core fiber reinforced polymer-concrete-steel bridge columns under extreme loading
… force demands depending on the anticipated truck loads and velocities from roads survey. In general, the peak dynamic force values of the HC-FCS columns were lower than those of the RC columns when they were subjected to vehicle collision, which could save lives and reduce damage to the …

Skewed Bridge Behaviors: Experimental, Analytical, And Numerical Analysis
… transverse load and skewed bridges subjected to truck load were developed. The thick plate solution was obtained in a framework of oblique coordinate system. The governing equation in that system was first derived and the solution was obtained using the deflection and rotation as derivatives of a …

New Approach to Connections Between Members of Adjacent Box Beam Bridges
… extensively and were subjected to known loads in the form of tandem trucks. The response of these bridges was studied and conclusions were made about the state of the bridges and the behavior after shear key failure. A finite element (FE) model of one of the tested bridges was developed …

Forage Yield Variability on New York Dairy Farms
… farms in 2013; forage samples were collected for truck loads, analyzed for dry matter content, and compared to monitor-registered dry matter. Truck weights were used to compare monitor-derived yield to actual yield on two farms for alfalfa/grass and three farms for corn silage. It was concluded …

Influence of tire-pavement thermomechanical interaction on contact stresses and rolling resistance
… both loading and environmental conditions. Heavy truck loads govern pavement responses and, thus, the eventual pavement damage. The anticipated increase in freight load and volume along with the prospect of autonomous truck platooning make it imperative that transportation agencies update their …
