Posted: Feb 19 UGPTI has issued a report detailing highlights of its work so far during the 2017-2019 biennium. Topics include, ag transportation, local roads, public transportation, safety, workforce support and others. A report of highlights from the 2015-2017 is also available.Posted: Feb 19 The project investigates a bridge bent with self-centering precast concrete columns for Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) in high seismic regions. The proposed hybrid system consists of post-tensioned precast concrete columns in a two-column bridge bent with one or two Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) as external energy dissipation devices.Posted: Feb 15 In 2010, a section of roadway on Utah SR 30 near Emery, Utah was reconstructed using a geogrid-reinforced pavement system. This project was intended to demonstrate the effectiveness of geogrid in reducing cost, providing longer service life, and reducing long-term maintenance of the pavement system.Posted: Feb 14 Differential settlement in the transition zone between the bridge structure and the approach embankment often creates a "bump" which is a potential safety hazard and comfort issue for drivers. This research focuses on identifying innovative means to mitigate this issue during design and construction.
