"This project focused primarily on the specific issue of developing a new technical tool to help TxDOT and other key operating agencies/stakeholders better predict when major elements of evacuation operations should be implemented."

"An instrumented, simulated bridge pier was constructed, and two full-scale collisions with an 80,000-lb van-type tractor-trailer were performed on it. The trailer was ballasted with bags of sand on pallets. The simulated pier was 36 inches in diameter and was supported in the longitudinal direction by two load cells. Force-versus-time data were obtained from the load cells."

"This report summarizes the delivery and results of a one-day pilot workshop conducted at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Waco District office in August 2010. This workshop was based on material developed for research project 0-6208, "Preserving the Functionality/Asset Value of State Highway System." This report includes the organization of the workshop, lists the topics covered, describes feedback and suggestions received, and identifies refinements and other changes that are suggested for future deliveries of this workshop."

Full-depth reclamation (FDR) offers a timely, cost-effective solution to restore a pavement's condition. However, FDR represents only one technique in the engineer's toolkit available for addressing deteriorating pavement conditions. The purpose of this project is to provide guidance on determining whether a pavement is a candidate for FDR and, if so, what design, construction, and inspection processes will maximize the performance of the completed reclamation. This report presents initial recommendations for selecting a candidate FDR project and developing design options (including field sampling and lab design protocols). Along with a literature review, these recommendations are illustrated by application on several projects in the Texas Department of Transportation's Austin and Dallas Districts.

"The purpose of this project is to understand historical changes in channel patterns and water and sediment distribution in the lowermost San Antonio River associated with major channel changes (avulsions). The project also seeks to identify areas of high risk or probability for future avulsions, and to develop recommendations for incorporating channel change and avulsion regimes into water resource management. The study area corresponds with the deltaic plain of the river. The San Antonio delta merges with the delta of the Guadalupe River, which the San Antonio River joins near Tivoli."
