  • Fen Causeway
    Fen Causeway An important vehicular route which crosses the attractive rural spaces of Coe Fen and Sheep’s Green with views back towards the city. Fen Causeway was built in as one of the main routes the 1920s to link Newnham around Cambridge, but the village with Trumpington negative effect of this traffic Road and to provide access is mitigated by the pastural to the south of the city. Its setting and the views of the construction was the subject River Cam with the historic of fierce local opposition city centre beyond. at the time. The road was built on the line of Coe Fen Lane, which joined the footpaths that crossed Coe Fen and Sheep’s Green. Today the road is very busy Fen Causeway SIGNIFICANCE - SIGNIFICANT General Overview At its eastern end Fen Causeway passes between the large properties of the Leys School to the south and the Royal Cambridge Hotel and University Department of Engineering to the north. Although the hotel is built up against the pavement, the car parks to the rear provide a large open space, whilst the school and engineering department stand back from the road behind high walls. The setback makes the street a light space, although the high buildings to either side channel views along the street in both directions. The grounds on either side provide greenery that softens the streetscene. The Royal Cambridge Hotel North House of the Leys School provides architectural interest as part of the late Victorian Methodist School complex, built in red brick with exuberant stone and brick detailing which provides a strong vertical emphasis.

  • CONCRETE Pavingtechnology Concrete Intersections a Guide for Design and Construction
    CONCRETE PAVINGTechnology Concrete Intersections A Guide for Design and Construction Introduction Traffic causes damage to pavement of at-grade street and road intersections perhaps more than any other location. Heavy vehicle stopping and turning can stress the pavement surface severely along the approaches to an intersection. The pavement within the junction (physical area) of an intersection also may receive nearly twice the traffic as the pavement on the approaching roadways. At busy intersections, the added load and stress from heavy vehicles often cause asphalt pavements to deteriorate prematurely. Asphalt surfaces tend to rut and shove under the strain of busses and trucks stopping and turning. These deformed surfaces become a safety concern for drivers and a costly maintenance problem for the roadway agency. Concrete pavements better withstand the loading and turning movements of heavy vehicles. As a result, city, county and state roadway agencies have begun rebuilding deteriorated asphalt intersections with con- crete pavement. These agencies are extending road and street system maintenance funds by eliminating the expense of intersections that require frequent maintenance. At-grade intersections along business, industrial and arterial corridor routes are some of the busiest and most vital pavements in an urban road network. Closing these roads and intersections for pavement repair creates costly traffic delays and disruption to local businesses. Concrete pavements provide a long service life for these major corridors and intersections. Concrete pavements also offer other advantages for As a rule, it is important to evaluate the existing pave- intersections: ment condition before choosing limits for the new concrete pavement. On busy routes, it may be desir- 1.

  • Concrete Sidewalk Specifications
    CONCRETE SIDEWALK SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL Concrete sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance with these specifications and the requirements of the State of Wisconsin, Department of Transportation, Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Current Edition (hereafter “Standard Specifications”). Concrete sidewalks shall conform to the lines and grades established by the City Engineer. All removal and replacements will be made as ordered by the City Engineer. The Contractor shall construct one-course sidewalks of a minimum thickness of four (4) inches in accordance with the plans and specifications. Sidewalk through a driveway section shall be a minimum thickness of six (6) inches. Concrete driveway approaches shall be a minimum thickness of six (6) inches. SUBGRADE A new sub-base may be required by the Engineer if, in his opinion, the soil in the subgrade is soft or spongy in places and will swell or shrink with changes in its moisture content. If a new sub- base is required, it shall consist of granular material and shall be spread to a depth of at least three (3) inches and thoroughly compacted. While compacting the sub-base the material shall be thoroughly wet and shall be wet when the concrete is deposited but shall not show any pools of water. If the Contractor undercuts the subgrade two (2) inches or more, he shall, at his expense, bring the subgrade to grade by using gravel fill and it shall be thoroughly compacted. Where sidewalk is placed over excavations such as tree roots or sewer laterals, four (4) one-half (1/2) inch reinforcing bars shall be placed to prevent settling or cracking of the sidewalk.

  • 1.1 What Is Concrete Masonry?
    1.1 What is Concrete Masonry? Introduction Concrete masonry construction (or as it is more and Specifiers are using Architectural Masonry in commonly called, concrete blockwork) is based on more commercial and residential applications. thousands of years experience in building structures of stone, mud and clay bricks. Blockwork masonry Using the various textures of Fair Face, Honed and units are hollow and are filled with concrete and Splitface is adding a lot more variety to the features allow for the integration of reinforcing steel, a feature of the wall. essential for earthquake resistant design. Concrete blockwork provides a structural and architectural advantage in one material and is recognised worldwide as a major contributor to the construction and building industry. Types of Concrete Blockwork The workhorse of concrete masonry has traditionally been stretcher bond blockwork forming structural, fire and acoustic functions from residential to large commercial buildings as well as the special use in retaining walls. With the introduction of coloured masonry Architects Figure 1: Commercial Stretcher Bond Blockwork Figure 2: Coloured Honed Blockwork Figure 3: Coloured Honed Blockwork Figure 4: Coloured Fairface, Honed and Splitface Blockwork Figure 5: Splitface Blockwork New Zealand Concrete Masonry Association Inc. Figure 6: Honed Half High Blockwork Figure 7: Honed Natural Blockwork There are also masonry blocks that include polystyrene inserts which provide all the structural benefits of a normal masonry block with the added advantage of built-in insulation. Building with these blocks removes the need for additional insulation - providing the added design flexibility of a solid plastered finish both inside and out. The word “Concrete Masonry” also encompasses a wide variety of products such as, brick veneers, retaining walls, paving and kerbs.

Lopez, P.E. Traffic Operations Division Manual: Pavement Marking Handbook Effective Date: August 2004 Purpose and Content This handbook provides information on material selection, installation, and inspection guidelines for pavement markings. It is targeted for two audiences — engineering personnel and field personnel. The portion for engineering personnel provides information on selecting pavement marking materials for various applications. The portion for field personnel provides information on pavement marking installation and inspection. Additional information about TxDOT specifications, procedures, and standards applicable to pavement markings are included in an appendix. The manual may be used by designers to help with pavement marking material selection and inspectors in the field. Instructions This is a new manual, and it does not replace any existing documents. Content Cover Table of Contents Chapters 1 through 3 Appendix A & B Review History This manual is the product of a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) research project. The TxDOT project director is Greg Brinkmeyer of the Traffic Operations Division. The research supervisor is Gene Hawkins of the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI). Tim Gates and Liz Rose of TTI developed most of the material in the handbook. Wade Odell was the research liaison engineer for the TxDOT Research and Technology Implementation Office. (continued...) Review History (continued) This handbook became a reality because numerous individuals were willing to contribute their time, ideas, and comments during the development process. Special credit should be given to a group of TxDOT staff who meet on a regular basis to review drafts and develop material for the handbook.
