    PREDICTION OF END BEARING FOR DRILLED SHAFTS AND SUGGESTION FOR DESIGN GUIDELINES OF END BEARING FOR DRILLED SHAFT IN FLORIDA LIMESTONE By SANG-HO KIM A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2003 Copyright 2003 by Sang-Ho Kim To My Mother and My Wife ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank God, at first, with all my heart. Without his leading, I would not be here right now. During my one year and eight months at the University of Florida, I have learned a lot of things and met many people. This period has been the most memorable and important time in my life. I would like to express my appreciation for all the professors (Dr. Michael C. McVay, Dr. Frank C. Townsend, Dr. David Bloomquist, Dr. Paul Bullock, Dr. John L. Davidson, and Dr. Bjorn Birgisson) in this department for giving me the opportunity to study here. In addition, I would like to extend a special thank to Professor Michael McVay for providing me the opportunity and for assisting me throughout the pursuit of my degree. He taught me many geotechnical concepts and how to think throughout our research when I was stuck. I would also like to thank all of my friends, Lila, Badri, Zhihong, Landy, Evelio, Minh, Erkan, Carlos, Thai, Scott, and Dinh, in our geotechnical field in civil engineering. It has been a pleasure studying with them and getting to know one another. In addition, I want to thank Sang-Min Lee, who helped me with the statistical aspects of this research, for being a good friend and colleague.

  • Review Requirements and Costs for Road Designations

    Review Requirements and Costs for Road Designations

    The Florida Senate Interim Report 2012-139 September 2011 Committee on Transportation REVIEW REQUIREMENTS AND COSTS FOR ROAD DESIGNATIONS Issue Description The designation of roads, bridges, or other transportation facilities for honorary or memorial purposes is a long- standing practice in Florida and, since 1922, over 1,000 of these designations have been legislatively approved. Passage of an honorary or memorial designation of a transportation facility generally involves erecting signs along the state‟s right-of-way reflecting the designation as described in an act of the Legislature; e.g., “John Jones Memorial Highway.” Currently, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT or department) bears the costs of erecting and maintaining these signs without a specific appropriation. This report provides an overview of the statutory requirements and procedures related to establishing honorary or memorial designations on transportation facilities in Florida. In addition, the report reviews the costs of these designations, including sign production, installation labor, maintenance, and other related costs. Background All roads which are open and available for use by the public and dedicated to the public use, according to law or by prescription, are declared and established as public roads.1 The Florida Statutes categorize public roads into four systems: The State Highway System; the State Park Road System; the county road system; and the city street system.2 Public roads are subject to numbering, naming and designation as follows. Numbering and Naming of Roads Each route on the State Highway System is given an unique number for identification and signed with distinctive numbered Interstate, U.S. or Florida state route shields to guide public travel.
