The report of a scanning tour by a U.S. delegation, Fed. Highway Admin., which conducted a broad overview of newly developed manufacturing techniques that are in use abroad for steel bridge fabrication & erection. The delegation focused on the role of steel production, design, innovation, & fabrication in modern steel fabrication facilities in Japan, Italy, Germany, & the U.K. The team also shared information on U.S. practice, initiatives, & research activities in these areas. In this report the team identifies 6 high-priority areas on which the U.S. industry should focus. It also makes recommendations for further research, pilot studies, & modifications to existing procedures that will further modernize structural steel fabrication facilities in the U.S.
An increasing number of highway agencies have found that applying relatively low-cost surface preservation treatments can extend the service life of pavement. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of France, South Africa, and Australia to investigate innovative programs for pavement preservation. The U.S. delegation observed that the countries visited are committed to designing and building long-lasting structural pavement sections on their national roadway networks.
