Evaluation Of Laboratory Test Results For The Us Gypsum Sight And Sound Screen System

Download or read book Evaluation of Laboratory Test Results for the U.S. Gypsum Sight and Sound Screen System written by Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (U.S.) and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 1997-07-01 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center, a CERF Service Center. This report describes a HITEC evaluation of the Sight and Sound Screen System, manufactured by U.S. Gypsum Co., covering 11 performance issues. The Sight and Sound Screen (sold under the name of Ultrascreen) is a post-and-panel wall system designed to act as a sight and sound barrier for highways and as a privacy system for residential and commercial property owners. This report details the test procedures and analysis used to evaluate the system and provides the results. When the results are compared to the results presented in Guidelines for Evaluating the Performance of Highway Sound Barriers, the evaluating panel concluded that the Sight and Sound Screen meets or exceeds all of the applicable evaluation criteria. Prospective users should review these findings for applicability to their local conditions and standards.

Book excerpt: Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC), a CERF Innovation Center. This report summarizes the results of detailed evaluations performed on four handheld and two mobile pavement marking retroreflectometers. The evaluations were designed to test the measurement bias, repeatability, and reproducibility of handheld and mobile retroreflectometers produced by several manufacturers.

Download or read book Guidelines for Evaluating the Performance of Highway Sound Barriers written by Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (U.S.) and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center, a CERF Service Center. This report presents the HITEC evaluation plan for U.S. Gypsum's Sight and Sound Screen. The Sight and Sound Screen is a post-and-panel wall system designed to act as a sight and sound barrier for highways and as a privacy system for residential and commercial property owners. The HITEC evaluation will measure the performance of the barrier against the criteria presented in this report, which reflect the needs of the highway community. Although this evaluation plan was tailored to one product, as a service to state and local transportation officials the report was expanded to provide guidelines that can be adapted for use with other types of sound wall systems.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Inter-Lok Retaining Wall System written by Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (U.S.) and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC), a CERF/IIEC Innovation Center. This report describes a HITEC evaluation designed to determine the basic capabilities and limitations of the INTER-LOK System for use as a technically viable, precast mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall system. The evaluation was conducted based on design, construction, performance, and quality assurance information outlined in the HITEC Protocol. The INTER-LOK System features a cross-shaped, segmental precast concrete facing panel connected to metallic rebar and anchor plate type of soil reinforcement attached to the facing panels by a keyplate that interlocks with the facing panels.
