Abstract: Well-documented conditions of the country’s subway systems suggest that the development of a management strategy for aging infrastructure is an important asset management challenge. The purpose of this work is to address ...

Abstract: Compacted‐stone or ‐sand columns have been used increasingly during the past two decades as a technique to reinforce soft cohesive soils and increase bearing capacity, accelerate consolidation, and improve the settlement ...

Abstract: A new approach for the interpretation of pressuremeter tests in sands is proposed that permits the determination of shear strength characteristics, dilatancy properties, and shear modulus from the anlaysis of pressuremeter ...

Abstract: Significant research has been conducted on the practice of bridge asset management (BAM). Although bridge site inspections yield observations on current conditions, their usefulness in a bridge asset management strategy ...

Abstract: The methods currently used for the design of reinforced earth walls with quasi‐inextensible metallic reinforcements are essentially based either upon the limit stress analysis concept or empirical relationships derived ...

Abstract: The methods currently used for the design of reinforced earth walls with extensive geosynthetic reinforcements can be broadly classified as: (1) Working stress design methods that basically rely upon restrictive assumptions ...

Abstract: Current leak detection practice in a water distribution system consists of monitoring the distributed volume in a district metering area (DMA) and the consumption measured with automated meter reading (AMR) at the building ...

Abstract: Current bridge assets management (BAM) is based on a site inspection–based condition rating methodology. Mitigation measures are adapted to assets’ condition assessment results. The reaction approach of bridge infrastructure ...
