Fiscal 2014 Annual Work Program FISCAL 2014 ANNUAL WORK PROGRAM Ohio Department of Transportation Office of Statewide Planning and Research, Research Section Research, Development and Technology Transfer Program, Part II In cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Ohio Division of the Federal Highway Administration MISSION OF THE RESEARCH SECTION Invest in innovative research that develops, maintains, and assists Ohio in establishing a world class transportation system. GOALS The primary goal of ODOT’s research development and technology transfer (RD&T2) program is to provide decision makers with the information and tools they require to ensure that Ohio’s transportation system meets the evolving needs of our residents and the traveling public. Several other goals within the program include: maximize research investments; take advantage of new technologies; and produce practical results that have a strong possibility of being implemented. Jennifer Townley, Acting Deputy Director Division of Planning Scott Phinney, P.E., Administrator Office of Statewide Planning & Research Cynthia Gerst, Section Head Research Section TABLE OF CONTENTS ODOT’S STRATEGIC RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS i SP&R2 PROGRAM DETAIL FY 2014 Work Program Summary 1 Active Projects 2 Active Projects Abstracts 4 Proposed Projects for Fiscal Year 2014 106 Proposed Projects Abstracts 107 Pooled Fund Projects 138 ODOT’S STRATEGIC RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS Ohio has one of the world’s largest transportation systems, creating opportunities as well as challenges for the state. ODOT uses strategic planning to take advantage of opportunities and meet the state’s challenges in a timely manner. The strategic research focus areas provide the basis for projects included in the SPR Part 2 Program. In 2013, ODOT focused its research efforts on the following four areas: Area 1: Transportation Asset Management ODOT’s largest asset is our transportation infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, intermodal facilities, railways and ports. Through usage and the passage of time, the system degrades and can become inadequate for both current and projected travel demands. Maintenance of the infrastructure presents many challenges as well as opportunities for improvements. Developing methods to better utilize resources and integrate advances in science, technology, and construction techniques will assist ODOT in efforts to both modernize and support our system. Area 2: Organizational Transformation The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “the only constant is change”; this statement resonates today. ODOT is faced with challenging situations brought about through influences such as economics, demographics, management trends, downsizing, shifts in federal funding, increased maintenance needs, and so forth. Research will guide ODOT in creating opportunities to foster innovation, leverage resources, and streamline and enhance decision making and project delivery. Area 3: Transportation Safety Ensuring the safety of those utilizing and maintaining our transportation system is a priority for ODOT. The traveling public expects the system to meet their individual needs in a manner that is safe, convenient, economic, and efficient with minimal disruption to their daily routines. In addition, protection for highway crews working on-location is a prominent concern. Identifying, developing and implementing corrective strategies before hazardous events occur is key to advancing a safe and reliable transportation system. Area 4: Customer Connections It has been well noted in the business world that effective communication with customers is a critical component to success and longevity. The basis of this sentiment is just as applicable in the public sector as the private sector. As a state agency, ODOT has a wide array of customers and stakeholders. In order for ODOT to fully achieve our mission, it is important for us to be in sync with our customers. Developing methodologies that will foster partnerships and assist ODOT in understanding customers’ needs while effectively telling our story and communicating the efficiencies of ODOT is essential. i Program Summary SPR2 Work Program FY2014 FY2014 FY2015 SOURCES Total Federal State Total Federal State Estimated FY SP&R 2 Funds 7,377,434 5,901,947 1,475,487 7,377,434 5,901,947 1,475,487 Carryforward FY‐1+ Funds 5,413,530 3,486,386 1,927,144 3,913,530 2,486,386 1,427,144 Available Funds 12,790,964 9,388,333 3,402,631 11,290,964 8,388,333 2,902,631 USES SHRP2 254,578 254,578 254,578 254,578 TRB 208,093 208,093 208,093 208,093 NCHRP (funded by SPR1) 0 0 0 0 LTAP 140,000 140,000 140,000 140,000 Pooled Fund Commitments 107,000 107,000 22,000 22,000 Active Project Commitments 579,415 463,532 115,883 0 00 Commitments 1,289,086 1,173,203 115,883 624,671 624,671 0 Active Project Modifications 500,000 400,000 100,000 500,000 400,000 100,000 Research On Call 125,000 100,000 25,000 125,000 100,000 25,000 Implementation 550,000 440,000 110,000 750,000 600,000 150,000 In House 500,000 400,000 100,000 500,000 400,000 100,000 Pooled Funds 100,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 ORIL 500,000 400,000 100,000 500,000 400,000 100,000 Peer Exchange 0 0 10,000 10,000 Other 0 0 0 00 Allocations 2,275,000 1,840,000 435,000 2,485,000 2,010,000 475,000 Strategic Projects 3,620,821 2,896,657 724,164 4,375,000 3,500,000 875,000 Proposals in Progress 850,000 680,000 170,000 0 00 OPREP 884,607 707,686 176,921 750,000 600,000 150,000 Student Studies 109,421 87,537 21,884 200,000 160,000 40,000 Implementation Projects 200,000 160,000 40,000 0 00 Pooled Funds 50,000 50,000 0 0 Proposed Projects 5,714,849 4,581,879 1,132,970 5,325,000 4,260,000 1,065,000 SUMMARY Available Funds 12,790,964 9,388,333 3,402,631 11,290,964 8,388,333 2,902,631 Commitments ‐1,289,086 ‐1,173,203 ‐115,883 ‐624,671 ‐624,671 0 Allocations ‐2,275,000 ‐1,840,000 ‐435,000 ‐2,485,000 ‐2,010,000 ‐475,000 Proposed Projects ‐5,714,849 ‐4,581,879 ‐1,132,970 ‐5,325,000 ‐4,260,000 ‐1,065,000 Remaining Funds 3,512,030 1,793,251 1,718,778 2,856,293 1,493,662 1,362,631 1 Active Projects Project Current State Job Duration Encumbered Proposed FY Proposed FY Total Proposed Number Project Title (months) Funds 2014 Funding 2015 Funding Cost Operation & Maintenance of a Statewide Crest-Stage 134141 Stream Gauging Network in Ohio 219 $ 1,106,057.00 $ -

  • (STAR) Department of Civil Engineering
    Spintronic Technology & Advance Research (STAR) Department of Civil Engineering DIPLOMA Lecture notes on Advanced Construction Techniques By Kamalini Rout Asst. Prof Advanced Construction Techniques (ACT) Notes Subject code CET-605 Retrofitting Techniques are required for concrete constructions which are vulnerable to damage and failures by seismic forces. In the past thirty years, moderate to severe earthquakes occurs around the world every year. Such events lead to damage to the concrete structures as well as failures. Thus the aim is to focus on a few specific procedures which may improve the practice for the evaluation of seismic vulnerability of existing reinforced concrete buildings of more importance and for their seismic retrofitting by means of various innovative techniques such as base isolation and mass reduction. So Seismic Retrofitting is a collection of mitigation technique for Earthquake engineering. It is of utmost importance for historic monuments, areas prone to severe earthquakes and tall or expensive structures. Keywords: Retrofitting, Base Isolation, Retrofitting Techniques, Jacketing, Earthquake creates great devastation in terms of life, money and failures of structures. Upgrading of certain building systems (existing structures) to make them more resistant to seismic activity (earthquake resistance) is really of more importance. Structures can be (a) Earthquake damaged, (b) Earthquake vulnerable Retrofitting proves to be a better economic consideration and immediate shelter to problems rather than replacement of building. Seismic Retrofitting of Concrete Structures: Definition: It is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquakes. The retrofit techniques are also applicable for other natural hazards such as tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and severe winds from thunderstorms.
