STRUCTURAL AND GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGHWAY - RAILROAD GRADE CROSSINGS

This report is the first in a series dealing with structural and geometric characteristics of highway-railroad grade crossings. The report details a study of crossing distribution and geometric characteristics, crossing appraisals, drainage, dynamic loadings, stabilization fabrics, and structural details for improved life and rideability.
