Abstract: One of the innovative approaches for maintaining and rehabilitating the nation's highways is to develop and implement some form of pavement management system (PMS). This paper documents results of a survey on PMS use in ...

Abstract: Existing methods commonly used for determining drained angles of the internal friction of sands using cone penetration test (CPT) data are examined and interpreted in this paper, with emphasis on the influence of the ...

Abstract: Prediction of load‐carrying capacity of piles in cohesionless soils has been and is still one of the most challenging problems facing geotechnical engineers. The problem is complex and difficult due to the lack of understanding ...

Abstract: This paper documents a low‐cost, qualitative evaluation scheme using a fuzzy set analysis for mapping slope failure potential (SFP). Four categories of factors affecting stability of natural slopes, i.e., geology, topography, ...

Abstract: This paper describes results of a full-scale load test program that was carried out on one section of rigid pavements of a newly constructed freeway in Taiwan. The pavement tested was instrumented with strain gauges and ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the back-calculation of elastic modulus of jointed concrete pavement. A series of road-rater tests are carried out on a jointed, Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement of a partially completed freeway ...

Abstract: Significant discrepancy exists among the available correlations that are commonly used for determining relative density using cone penetration test (CPT) data. These correlations recognize the difference in sand compressibility ...
