Includes full color illustrations. The increased use of underground space for transportation systems and the increasing complexity and constraints of constructing and maintaining above ground transportation infrastructure have prompted the need to develop this technical manual. This FHWA manual is intended to be a single-source technical manual providing guidelines for planning, design, construction and rehabilitation of road tunnels, and encompasses various types of road tunnels including mined, bored, cut-and-cover, immersed, and jacked box tunnels. The scope of the manual is primarily limited to the civil elements of road tunnels.

Full color, richly illustrated book. This manual aims to gather and disseminate the modern OSD technology based on worldwide practice. Emphasis is now placed on the fact that the design of these structures is generally controlled by fatigue limit states. Details necessary to make these structures work require advanced fatigue evaluation techniques that must rest on accurate stress range calculations, which is possible with the use of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and/or prototype testing. The fatigue testing database has grown considerably over the last few decades, which has provided the necessary data for proper evaluation and detailing for fatigue resistance.

Full color, richly illustrated book. The purpose of HDS 7, Hydraulic Design of Safe Bridges, is to provide technical information and guidance on the hydraulic design of bridges. HDS 7 replaces the HDS 1 manual "Hydraulics of Bridge Waterways" (FHWA 1978) for guidance of bridge hydraulic analyses. Bridges should be designed as safely as possible while optimizing costs and limiting impacts to property and the environment. Many significant aspects of bridge hydraulic design are discussed. These include regulatory topics, specific approaches for bridge hydraulic modeling, hydraulic model selection, bridge design impacts on scour and stream instability, and sediment transport.

Full color, richly illustrated book. The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for identifying stream instability problems at highway stream crossings. Techniques for stream channel classification and reconnaissance, as well as rapid assessment methods for channel instability are summarized. Qualitative and quantitative geomorphic and engineering techniques useful in stream channel stability analysis are presented.

Full color, richly illustrated book. This manual is part of a set of HECs issued by FHWA to provide guidance for bridge scour and stream stability analyses.

The Department of Transportation (USDOT or DOT) is a federal cabinet department of the United States government. The office's main concerns are those associated with transportation and transportation needs across the country. Established in 1967, the DOT is administered by the United States Secretary of Transportation. Some of the DOT's larger agencies include the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Maritime Administration (MARAD), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The Department of Transportation and its agencies create numerous publications each year to educate the public about certain areas of transportation, new technology in the field, and the histories of the agencies and the department.
