Abstract: Due to their efficiency and economy, supersingle tires have gradually been replacing conventional dual tires in the trucking industry. According to recent studies, supersingle tires generate much higher vertical contact ...

Abstract: An extensive field investigation was carried out to determine the properties of subgrade soils treated with lime in pavements that had been in service for at least five years. Six sites were selected for the field tests. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the mechanical properties of silicate-grouted sands subjected to creep loadings at low stress levels. Uniaxial compressive tests were performed in order to determine the stress levels of constant creep ...

Abstract: Piles are often driven in multilayered soil profiles. The accurate prediction of the ultimate bearing capacity of piles driven in mixed soil is more challenging than that of piles driven in either clay or sand because the ...

Abstract: In order to evaluate material characteristics (in situ modulus) of well-compacted subgrades, the portable falling weight deflectometer (PFWD) test, which simulates dynamic loads, was adopted. The falling energy was assumed ...
