      <title>THE CROSS HARBOUR TUNNEL BUS SERVICE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/129326</link>
      <description><![CDATA[THE REPORT DISCUSSES THE EFFECT ON EXISTING BUS AND FERRY SERVICES IN HONG KONG OF THE INTRODUCTION OF A CROSS-HARBOUR TUNNEL BUS SERVICE, AND THE LEVEL OF PATRONAGE THAT IT WOULD ATTRACT.  IT IS CONCLUDED THAT SUCH A SERVICE WOULD DISRUPT THE PRESENT COMPLEX PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND WOULD NOT MAKE A PROPORTIONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE COST OF BUILDING AND OPERATING THE NECESSARY FACILITIES.  /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>DURABILITY OF STEEL SHEET PILING IN SHORE STRUCTURES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/119573</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED OF THE RATE OF DETERIORATION OF STEEL SHEET PILING. NINTY-FOUR STRUCTURES LOCATED ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE GULF COAST OF GULF COAST OF FLORIDA WERE EXAMINED. THE STRUCTURES WERE SELECTED FOR VARIOUS CONDITIONS OF EXPOSURE AND TREATMENT. MOST WERE EXPOSED TO NORMAL OR SEA WATER MODERATELY DILUTED WITH FRESH WATER. MEASUREMENTS WERE MADE OF THE THICKNESS OF THE WEBS OF 153 GROUPS OF PILES. THE MEAN RATE OF LOSS OF THICKNESS OF STEEL SHEET PILING BASED ON A TOTAL OF 451 WEIGHTED AVERAGES WAS ABOUT 0.008 INCH PER YEAR. RATES OF LOSS VARY MATERIALLY UNDER DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. TEST RESULTS WARRANT THE FOLLOWING GENERAL CONCLUSIONS: (1) THE RATES OF LOSS ARE MUCH LOWER FOR HARBOR BULKHEADS THAN FOR OTHER SHORE STRUCTURES STUDIED, (2) THE RATES OF LOSS ARE LOWER IN THE EASTERN AND NORTH EASTERN UNITED STATES FOR HARBOR AND BEACH BULKHEADS THAN IN THE SOUTH EASTERN UNITED STATES, (3) THE RATES OF LOSS FOR BEACH AND HARBOR BULKHEADS ARE MATERIALLY HIGHER FOR SURFACES ABOVE MEAN HIGH WATER THAN FOR SURFACES WITHIN THE TIDAL RANGE, (4) SAND OR EARTH COVER MATERIALLY DECREASES THE RATE OF LOSS, (5) EXPOSURE TO SALT SPRAY GREATLY INCREASES THE RATE OF LOSS, AND (6) PAINTING MATERIALLY REDUCES THE RATE OF LOSS. THE USEFUL LIFE OF STEEL SHEET PILE STRUCTURES IS CONCLUDED TO DEPEND UPON THE ORIGINAL THICKNESS OF THE STEEL, RATE OF LOSS OF THICKNESS, AND THE THICKNESS, AND THE THICKNESS OF THE PILING WHEN THE STRUCTURE IS NO LONGER USEFUL BECAUSE OF LOSS OF THICKNESS.]]></description>

      <title>BOSTON HARBOR TUNNEL PROJECT UTILIZES CLSM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/482870</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article describes the construction of the new Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) Project, designed to alleviate Boston's complex traffic problems, and the role that CLSM played. There were at least three major applications of CLSM utilization. First, the underground utility corridors have the need of complete consolidation of backfill material around the corridors to eliminate future settlement, a need easily serviced with flowable fill. Secondly, the need for fill material between the exterior of the aforementioned slurry walls and the existing terrain also brought to light the versatility and value of material that would flow like a liquid, yet support like a solid. The third application of CLSM is the space between the tunnel boxes and supporting walls for the cut and cover tunnels.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This report explores the design, construction, and financing of small craft harbors and provides numerous guidelines for the logical, analytical process of planning marinas.  Chapters examine how to design improvements along the basin perimeter and within the harbor itself; inner harbor structures, including fixed piers, floating dockage systems, trailer systems, and launching ramps; capital funding approaches; and specialized aspects of small boat harbor development.]]></description>

      <title>APPLICATION OF PREFABRICATED ELEMENTS IN QUAY WALL STRUCTURES IN THE PORT OF ROTTERDAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/395509</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Various historical applications of prefabrication used in quay wall structures in the Port of Rotterdam are described. The circumstances in which prefabrication should be considered are discussed, with special reference to the quay wall construction in the Eemshaven basin, where the large-scale use of prefabricated elements has not proved entirely successful. Lastly, a prefabricated quay wall in which the experience gained in using the Eemshaven quay has been incorporated to reduce vulnerability to collision loads, is described.]]></description>

      <title>RO-RO MINIPORTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/395649</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This presentation aims to show that the development demands of existing ports and the provision of core facilities for a new venture at inland or coastal sites can be met cost effectively by floating or movable miniport structures. The most cost effective port normally exploits ro/ro facilities, and that is the focus of this presentation. The potential of miniports for lo/lo or bulk handling operations, however, is also made apparent. The success of the miniport concept is demonstrated by reference to an established major installation.]]></description>

      <title>STEEL SHEET PILES AS PREFABRICATED ELEMENTS IN HARBOUR CONSTRUCTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/397513</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Sheet piling installations utilize prefabricated components. The main advantages of such installations are: immediate construction startup, simple and overseeable equipment placement, reductions in personnel requirements, rapid progress in construction, and relative independence from weather conditions. Sheet pile structures are economically adaptable to existing conditions. The modification or strengthening of old structures to accommodate changing requirements is possible without difficulties and each represents a typical area of application for sheet piling. A number of examples of projects that utilized the prefabricated components are included in the discussion.]]></description>

      <title>TURNING THE TIDE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/383309</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Rising death rates and ever-increasing traffic volumes on Auckland's Harbour Bridge meant that a novel form of traffic management was required. A moveable barrier provided the solution. The barrier consists of 2,200 T-section concrete units, each one metre in length. The units are linked by a self-centering pin incorporating a pre-loaded tension spring to help absorb geometric length changes caused by transfer and creep, and to restore the alignments of the barrier after impact. The completed barrier is shifted using self-propelled transfer vehicles fitted with a line of rollers. The rollers run in an S-shape underneath the vehicle, picking up the units on one side and shifting them across a full lane width before replacing them on the road surface.]]></description>

      <title>UNDERGROUND DESIGN OF BOSTON'S CENTRAL ARTERY/TUNNEL PROJECT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/372594</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Article describing construction and design of the massive Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) project in Boston, Massachusetts. This includes construction of an 8 to 10 lane underground highway tunnel through congested, historic downtown Boston, along with installation of a new harbor crossing with complex approach roads and interchanges. The CA/T Project, currently the largest transportation project in the U.S., features over six kilometers of different types of tunnels, including: (1) The Third Harbor Tunnel, an immersed tube harbor crossing; (2) Cut-and-cover tunnel approaches from East and South Boston; (3) A short immersed tube segment constructed over an existing subway tunnel; and (4) Cut and cover tunnels built under the existing Central Artery elevated highway in downtown Boston, while the road above remains in service.]]></description>
