Project 4.13: Development and Application of a Cost-Benefit Tool for Quantifying External Social Impacts of Small to Mid-Size Transportation Projects

Development and Application of a Cost-Benefit Tool for Quantifying External Social Impacts of Small to Mid-Size Transportation Projects Project 4.13 Project Summary This two-year project will focus on developing methods for quantifying the external social costs of transportation civil infrastructure projects, particularly small to mid-size projects that are common in New England states. Transportation projects […]

Project 3.13: Investigating the Effectiveness of Enzymatic Stabilizers for Reclaimed Stabilized

Base Projects Investigating the Effectiveness of Enzymatic Stabilizers for Reclaimed StabilizedBase Projects Project 3.13 Project Summary The overarching goal of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of enzymatic stabilizers in RSB projects in Vermont and the New England (NE) region. The outcomes of this project will assist engineers in (i) determining the appropriate enzymatic […]

Project 2.12: Evaluation of Processed Glass Aggregate for Utilization in Transportation Projects as A Sand Burrow.

Evaluation of Processed Glass Aggregate for Utilization in Transportation Projects as A Sand Burrow. Project 2.12 Project Summary “Sand borrow” is a sand-like material most commonly used as a subbase under pavements. To provide good drainage and protect the pavement from frost heaves, the sand borrow material is required to have a low content of […]

Project C09.2019: A New Method of Determining Payment for In-Place Concrete with Double- Bounded Compressive Strength Pay Factors

A New Method of Determining Payment for In-Place Concrete with Double-Bounded Compressive Strength Pay Factors Project C9.2019 Project Summary The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) currently uses a lower acceptance limit on 28-day concrete compressive strength (CCS) of 4,000 psi for acceptance of in-place concrete in its construction projects. Over time, to mitigate risk, the […]

Project 4.04: Bridge-stream network assessment to identify sensitive structural, hydraulic

Bridge-Stream Network Assessment to Identify Sensitive Structural, Hydraulic and Landscape Parameters for Planning Flood Mitigation Project 4.4 Project Summary Bridge rehabilitation or new bridge design is often performed as needed for individual bridges without much consideration for how the change affects other bridges, properties, roads, etc. This is often a concern raised by stakeholders when […]
