Abstract: This paper addresses the causes of the premature failures observed on newly constructed ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW) sections. The key factors contributing to premature failure were high pouring temperature and an ...

Abstract: Quantifying the surface color changes by digital image analysis to assess the quality of the sewage sludge brick is investigated. Relationships among the firing temperatures, percent weight of incinerated sludge ash added, ...

Abstract: Brick manufactured from incinerated sewage sludge ash and clay is investigated. The results of Atterberg limits tests of molded ash-clay mixtures indicated that both plastic index and dry shrinkage decrease with an increasing ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop a user-friendly software, called an “image color intensity analyzer”, and study its application to the relationship between surface color changes and different elevated temperatures ...

Abstract: In an effort to extend the reutilization of sewage sludge ash and improve the properties of sludge ash tiles, nano-

Abstract: Lower cost and better quality evaluations of pavement characteristics require precise quality assurance/control programs that relate test results to design practice. Rapid in situ stiffness testing enables transportation ...

Abstract: Fourteen Texas SPS-3 test sites were studied to determine the effectiveness of preventative maintenance treatments. These sections were built on four highway classifications (IH, US, SH, and FM) in different climates and ...

Abstract: The Specific Pavement Study–1 pavement test section on US281 in south Texas comprise the largest Strategic Highway Research Program experimental site in the United States. The project was opened to traffic in 1997, and ...

Abstract: Lack of proper pavement base and subgrade compaction leads to premature failures that account for millions of dollars in damages. Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) concrete was introduced in this study as pavement ...
