Example service life calculations."TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 474: Service Life of Culverts explores the time during which a culvert is expected to provide a desired function with a specified level of maintenance established at the design or retrofit stage. This study is an update of NCHRP Synthesis 254: Service Life of Drainage Pipe (1998), which itself was an update of NCHRP Synthesis 50: Durability of Drainage Pipe (1978). Developments in plastic pipe, fiber-reinforced concrete pipe, polymeric-coated metal pipe, recycled materials, larger and more diverse structures, and sophisticated analytical soil-structure interaction modeling within the past 15 years led to the development of this report" --Research sponsored by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration

Service life of retroreflective traffic signs / by Black, K. L.(Kent L.)(CARDINAL)319629; United States.Federal Highway Administration.(CARDINAL)139839; Bellomo-McGee, Inc.(CARDINAL)311201;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 106-107).Introduction -- Literature review -- Data collection -- Data description -- Predictive equations -- Validation -- Summary and recommendations -- Appendices -- References.Draft report;The ability to predict coefficient of retroreflection (RA) values for inservice traffic signs is critical for the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Sign Management System (SMS). Within the SMS, tools for predicting inservice retroreflective performance of traffic signs and for determining the motorist's visual needs are required. The research which focuses on the motorist's needs in terms of traffic sign luminance, legibility distance, conspicuity, etc., is on-going by others. The project reported on here evaluated the effects of climatological and geographic variables on sign sheeting deterioration. A national data collection effort was undertaken. Data samples from 6,275 traffic signs were collected across the country.Sponsored by Office of Safety and Traffic Operations R&D, Federal Highway Administration, under contract no.
