ESCINC-SBIR 21-FH3
SBC: ENGINEERING & SOFTWARE CONSULTANTS, LLC Topic: 21FH3According to a survey completed by NCAT in 2019, as part of the NCHRP 20‐07 project, 36 DOTs (out of 43 responded) consider fatigue cracking as the most common failure mode that the agency wants to address. However, in the same survey, 34 of the DOTs also indicated that fatigue cracking test is not required in their mix design specifications. This is primarily because a simple, practical, and ro ...

ADVANCING BATHYMETRY AND STREAMFLOW SURVEY TO REAL-TIME SCOUR PREDICTION: AN AUTOMATED ALGORITHM
SBC: Genex Systems LLC Topic: 20FH3Most research on scour assessment has traditionally focused on developing best-fit or envelope equations to estimate the maximum scour depths from physical experiments in a laboratory environment. However, obtaining an accurate estimate is always a challenge due to numerous uncertainties in the actual riverine or coastal environment. With advances in new surveying technologies and growing computat ...

Modular Lightweight Composite Deck
SBC: PRECAST SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, LLC Topic: 20FH2A newly proposed combination of high-strength weathering steel sheet with Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) to leverage the benefits of both emerging technologies. The combined system offers benefits over traditional orthotropic steel decks and existing concrete or UHPC deck solutions, both of which offer high up-front costs in fabrication or forming. The resulting composite structure provide ...

Demonstration of a Drone-Based Track Safety Inspection System Using Asset-Based Change Detection
SBC: Noble Drone Services, LLC Topic: 180FR4Today’s prevailing methods of visual track inspection tend to be expensive, disruptive to operations, and have potential to be less thorough than preferred. To help address these issues, machine vision technology emerged in the rail sector over a decade ago; however, the technology has not achieved its expected potential due to the uncontrolled nature of rail environments. Recent findings have s ...
