The paramount objective of any civil transportation authority is to ensure the absolute safety of the traveling public. Road surfaces play a critical, active role in preventing vehicular accidents, particularly under adverse weather conditions involving heavy rain, snow, or ice. The friction between a vehicle's tires and the pavement surface—commonly referred to as skid...

The Cold Formed Steel (CFS) is a high-strength, lightweight construction material produced by bending or rolling thin steel sheets into desired shapes at room temperature. Unlike hot-rolled steel, which is shaped while heated, cold formed steel undergoes shaping without the application of heat, which enhances its mechanical properties, precision, and surface finish. This process...
