Sidewall collapse of underground structures due to loss of lateral support under internal blast loading
The structural integrity of immersed-tube tunnels that have a cross-section as shown in Fig.
Recycled Concrete Aggregate in Portland Cement Concrete
The objective of this work was to determine if RCA is suitable for use in concrete on NJDOT projects and if so, what limitations there are to its use. In order to answer these questions a review of previous published reports was performed along with a review of the experiences other state DOTs have with the material. This was followed by laboratory testing of RCA produced in New Jersey. This New Jersey produced RCA was then used as aggregate in concrete field trials. The trials included cast-in-place and precast applications.
Impact Analysis of Recreational Transit Services on Local Community Economic Development, Employment and Spending
Research Problem and Background
The New Jersey Department of Transportation is soliciting proposals for a study that will quantify the economic and congestion-relief benefits from transit service to recreational activities in three specific market areas. Transit service to these market areas is provided by NJ TRANSIT.
Social Network Based Dynamic Transit Service through the OMITS System
Traffic congestion on American roadways, especially in major metropolitan areas, has been exacerbated by increasing use of vehicles with single drivers. The long-term goal of this research initiative is to reshape our infrastructure systems for improved sustainability and efficiency. To this end, the Open-Mode Integrated Transportation System (OMITS) integrates multiple transit modes, such as carpool, vanpool, bus, and train, to provide optimal transit service and real-time traffic information and prediction with wireless communication and database management.
Lessons from Hurricane Sandy for Port Resilience
Super Storm Sandy made landfall in southern New Jersey, near Atlantic City, on 29 October 2012, devastating the coastline of New York and New Jersey. The unique path taken by Sandy placed the communities and infrastructure of the Port of New York and New Jersey directly in the path of the most damaging part of the storm. Ports are critical element in the global supply chain and any disruption in that transportation system can have significant impacts on the U.S. economy.
