Transportation Research Record 1797 focuses on clear-water scour at bridge contractions in cohesive soils, geospatial distribution of metal elements in transportation-land use surficial soils, clear-water abutment scour prediction for simple and complex channels, vehicle impacts in V-shaped ditches, and critical impact points for transitions and terminals. The papers contained in this volume were among those presented at the 81th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in January 2002. For abstracts of the individual papers see C 28424 - C 28436.
