HERMES – “Harmonization of European Routine and research Measuring Equipment for Skid Resistance” was a FEHRL-funded pre-normative project that aimed to lay the foundations for consistent European standardisation of skid resistance measurement on roads and runways. Underlying the work was the idea that the project should give the initial impetus to the implementation of a common scale of friction, the so-called EFI (European Friction Index), together with an associated harmonis ...[more] |

| |
This part of the SILENCE project considers the integral design and maintenance of lower noise road surfaces in urban areas. Particular attention is given to surfacing technologies that are appropriate for
use in congested streets containing road features such as inspection covers or suffer from frequent interventions due to sub-surface street works. Also new surface types will be developed for use on roads for medium to high speed traffic with speeds of 50 to 100 km/h, which are typical for ci ...[more] |

| |
This Guidance for the optimal assessment of highway structures was prepared by the Work Package 15 of the SAMARIS project with the objective to give some instructions on how to improve procedures used for assessment of highway structures, especially bridges. Apart from the overview on condition assessment procedures used in different European countries, the major focus of the report is on the chapter on structural safety assessment where the most important results of the research are presented. ...[more] |

The NR2C objectives were firstly to provide a long term vision of the road infrastructure and secondly to develop specific innovations in three fields: urban infrastructure, interurban infrastructure and bridges. NR2C has developed long-term perspectives, concrete pilot projects and research recommendations, linking long-term visions and ideas to short-term actions.
A vision reflecting society’s perception of road infrastructure in the year 2040 forms the basis of NR2C’s aim to ide ...[more] |

| |
Because there has been no substantial effort to develop common standards for the maintenance of highway structures, COST Action 345 was undertaken to describe current European practice on the inspection, assessment, maintenance and repair of the stock of in-service highway structures. Information on the stock of highway structures and current expenditure levels was obtained and requirements for future work were defined. A reliable, integrated system of inspection, assessment and maintenance is r ...[more] |

Intelligent monitoring of jack-arch structures: the results of a preliminary study

In this TRL study, a cast iron beam, instrumented with deflection gauges, strain gauges and two acoustic monitoring systems, was subjected to a series of load cycles. The aim of the test programme was to determine whether acoustic emission (AE) techniques could be used to form the basis of an intelligent monitoring system. The results support the view that AE was generated by a load-related mechanism - most likely due to micro-cracking of the cast iron - and so AE techniques might indeed form th ...[more] |
