      <title>PLANNING FOR TRAFFIC AND SAFETY--SOME RECENT FINDINGS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/203526</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The scope and some of the findings of recent Australian Road Research Board traffic work in three areas of interest to local government is summarised: town planning and road safety, local area traffic management and traffic generation.  Comments are made about the potential to improve practice in each area by improving the information available to practitioners.  Although the need for more research is stressed, some observations can be made about improvements to practice on the basis of what is known already.  Increased emphasis on more detailed questions is foreshadowed.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT - THE NO ACTION OPTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/203527</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The data collected, the assessment of that data and the conclusions drawn from it in relation to a traffic management scheme for the city of Prospect Area, an inner northern suburb of Adelaide are described.  The assessment of the collected data and the influence of major works on the internal and adjacent arterial road network suggested the conclusion of the study to be a strong case for maintaining existing traffic patterns and not to implement a comprehensive scheme involving traffic control devices designed to redistribute or redirect traffic.  This conclusion was confirmed by traffic count figures obtained after the completion of some of the major works on the arterial road system.  (TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>BEHAVIOUR OF STEEL STRUCTURES UNDER FIRE CONDITIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/203528</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Australian regulatory requirements for fire- resistant construction using steel are summarised and methods for satisfaction of these requirements by calculation are presented.  These methods use statistical analysis of fire- resistance test data to model the thermal response and established structural analysis methods to model the structural response.  Comparisons with test data show that the methods produce satisfactory results.  The need for multiple fire- resistance tests to obtain reliable thermal design data for each fire-protection material is emphasised. (Author/TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>INNOVATIVE FOOTBRIDGES IN MELBOURNE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/203529</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Four footbridges constructed between 1975 and 1982 in Melbourne are discussed, including two three-pinned arch bridges in pinus glue-lam, one suspension bridge and a simple span in jarrah glue-lam.  (Author/TRRL)]]></description>

      <title>DETERMINATION OF ROAD UPGRADING PRIORITIES IN URBAN AND REMOTE AREAS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/203530</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The availability of funds for road works programmes is of major concern to local authorities and increased emphasis is therefore required to maximise the benefits from available finance.  Two methods of determining road upgrading priorities applicable to urban and remote areas respectively are described.  The first method, in relation to urban areas, involves the use of traditional transport planning procedures that can be applied quickly and cheaply to determine the need for road upgradings on a systematic basis.  Because of their low cost, these procedures lend themselves to repeated application, which, in conjunction with a program of network monitoring allows a continued updating and revision of identified road needs.  The second method, in relation to remote areas, was developed for a study of road development requirements in central Australia. Conventional techniques to appraise road upgrading projects are only applicable to roads with substantial traffic volumes, say in excess of 50 vpd.  In outback areas, for instance, much lower volumes are normal, and benefits are related less to road use than to the quality and reliability of access which a given road affords those who are dependent on it.  A new technique was therefore developed which in essence, provides an objective and consistent basis for what were formerly subjective judgements about the relative importance of a variety of road functions.  The result is a ranking of roads, without any attempt at an absolute measure of feasibility.  Examples of the use and advantages of these methods are described.  (Author/TRRL)]]></description>
