TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Research Report 838: Guidelines for Optimizing the Risk and Cost of Materials QA Programs proposes guidelines for optimizing the risk and cost of materials quality assurance (QA) programs. It develops a methodology for establishing a materials QA program that optimizes risk and cost by providing appropriate types, levels, and frequencies of agency testing and inspection for transportation projects across their full range of type, size, complexity, and project-delivery method.

TRB¿s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 604: Heat-Straightening Repair of Damaged Steel Bridge Girders: Fatigue and Fracture Performance explores limits, based on fatigue and fracture performance, on the number of damage and repair cycles to which damaged steel bridge girders may be subjected using the heat-straightening procedure.
"NCHRP Project 4-34, 'Application of LADAR in the Analysis of Aggregate Characteristics,' was conducted by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia, with participation by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The objective of the project was to develop and evaluate a laser detection and ranging (LADAR) system capable of precise and accurate measurement of the aggregate characteristics of shape, volume, angularity, surface texture, specific surface area, and volumetric gradation. Ideally, the final system would be applicable to aggregate in three size categories--coarse (2 in. to #4), fine (#4 to #200), and microfine (P200)--and suitable for routine ...
"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 744: Fuel Usage Factors in Highway and Bridge Construction includes fuel usage factors for work items in the construction and maintenance of highways and bridges. The report includes the Price Adjustment Calculator Tool, a Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet, designed to assist in the calculation of payment adjustments for construction projects using fuel price indices or fuel prices. Appendixes B, C, and D were not included in the print or PDF version of the report, however, they are downloadable from the following links: Appendix B - Outreach Plan. Appendix C - PowerPoint® Presentation and Speaker Notes. Appendix D - News Brief"--Publisher description.
