The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Roadway Departure Safety Implementation Plan (RDSIP) has identified tree removal as a feasible countermeasure to reduce roadway departure crash frequency or severity.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Roadway Departure Safety Implementation Plan (RDSIP) has identified tree removal as a feasible countermeasure to reduce roadway departure crash frequency or severity. Previous ADOT work has identified locations for tree removal, and activities to conduct this work are underway. To test the safety effectiveness of removing the trees, ADOT intends to conduct statistically rigorous before-after safety effectiveness analysis to estimate state-specific crash modification factors (CMFs).

There are many factors that affect the durability of Portland cement concrete (PCC), including the mix design and the materials used, the quality of construction, and the environment. Durability is not an intrinsic property of the concrete, but instead is related to how the material interacts with the environment. Durability-related

There are many factors that affect the durability of Portland cement concrete (PCC), including the mix design and the materials used, the quality of construction, and the environment. Durability is not an intrinsic property of the concrete, but instead is related to how the material interacts with the environment. Durability-related deterioration is referred to as materials-related distress (MRD). Common MRDs include those caused by physical processes, such as freezing and thawing, or chemical processes, such as alkali-silica reactivity (ASR) and sulfate attack. This research project was undertaken to determine whether concrete used in the ADOT system is experiencing, or is potentially susceptible to, ASR or sulfate attack, and if so, to what degree.
