Answer to Problem 1P

Here there are total 9 conflict points. The number of possible conflict points at any intersection depends on the turning movements of vehicles and thetype of traffic control at the intersection.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Conflict points at an unsignalized T intersection.

Figure shows the possible conflict points at an unsignalized T intersection,

  Traffic and Highway Engineering, Chapter 8, Problem 1P

The 3 types of possible conflicts at an unsignalized T intersection are,

  1. Merging conflict points 3
  2. Diverging conflict points 3
  3. Crossingconflict points 3

Figure (1) shows the different conflict points that exist at unsignalized T intersection. Here total 9 conflict points in this type of intersection of unsignalized. The number of possible conflict points at any intersection will depend on the turning movements of vehicles and thetypeof traffic control at the intersection.

Post-tensioned AASHTO Type II girders are to be used to support a deck with unsupported span equal to 10 meters. Two levels of Grade 250, 10 x 15.2 mm Ø 7-wire strand are used to tension the girders with 5 tendons per level, where the tendons on top stressed before the ones on the bottom. The girder is simply supported at both ends. The anchors are located 100 mm above the neutral axis at the supports while the eccentricity is measured at 400 mm at the midspan. The tendon profile follows a parabolic shape using a rigid metal sheathing. A concrete topping (slab) 130 mm thick is placed above the beam with a total tributary width of 4 meters. Use maximum values for ranges (table values). Assume that the critical section of the beam is at 0.45LDetermine the losses (friction loss, anchorage, elastic shortening, creep, shrinkage, relaxation). Determine the stresses at the top fibers @ critical section before placing a concrete topping, right after stress transfer. Determine the stress at the…
