TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board 1892 presents research on general structures, steel bridges, concrete bridges, dynamics and field testing of bridges, seismic design of bridges, tunnels and underground structures, culverts and hydraulic structures, and structural fiber-reinforced plastics. Also examined are the cost and performance comparison of U.S. overhead sign support structures, the behavior of steel bridges under superload permit vehicles, the current practice for design of high-strength concrete prestressed bridge girders, the field test and rating of the Arlington curved-steel box-girder bridge, decision aids for tunneling, and the fatigue behavior of a prestressed tubular bridge deck of fiber-reinforced polymer. The papers contained in this volume were among those presented at the 83rd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2004.
