Transportation Engineering Definition (Page 2)

a segment of a circle (an arc) usually laid out in a field by the tangent to a curve.

• curing

• Circular curves

• compound curve

• clapotis

the pressure against a vertical wall due to the waves.

• clapotis

• concrete

• cut or excavation

• delay

refers to any material that consists of aggregate, such as sand, gravel and stones.

• cross slope

• cement

• concrete

• construction joint

these result when two curves of differing radius join one another.

• compound curve

• crossing conflict

• construction joint

• cost of borrow

joints provided in concrete cement like a separation to allow building components to move with respect to one another.

• block cracking

• continuously reinforced concrete pavement

• cross slope

• construction joint

a rigid pavement which has no traverse joint, except construction joint and expansion joint. (Note: Traverse - across or through)

• continuously reinforced concrete pavement

• contraction joint

• expansion joint

• crossing conflict

this is the cost of any material that has to be obtained in order to make a fill.

• cross slope

• clapotis

• circular curve

• cost of borrow

this traffic conflict occurs when they cross paths directly.

• cross slope

• curing

• design speed

• crossing conflict

is a safety factor that provides a drainage gradient so that the water will run off the surface.

• cross slope

• curing

• cut or excavation

• delay

the process of getting the required water and temperature after placing the cement.

• deep water waves

• delineator

• density

• curing
