Innovative Data Acquisition for Heavily Instrumented Flexible Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A data acquisition program was written to allow independent triggering of multiple test sections of a thin flexible pavement. A total of 129 electronic sensors were installed in 17 test sections and subjected to 2,100 truck ...
Cold In-Place Recycling Characterization for Single-Component or Multiple-Component Binder Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Finite-Element Modeling of Instrumented Flexible Pavements under Stationary Transient Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Results from a finite-element program developed in the commercial code Plaxis were compared to those from an instrumented thin flexible pavement containing multiple test sections. The model has performed reasonably well ...
Comparing Laboratory Conditioning Protocols to Longer-Term Aging of Asphalt Mixtures in the Southeast United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper uses mixture tests on cores from a full-scale and untrafficked test section to evaluate mixture conditioning protocols intended to simulate asphalt mixture damage experienced from non–load-associated environmental ...
Analysis of Full-Scale Geosynthetic Reinforced Airfield Pavement Subjected to Accelerated Aircraft Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A full-scale airfield pavement section was constructed and trafficked by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to evaluate the performance of geogrid reinforced flexible airfield pavement structures ...
Utility Relocation Concept Plan for Mitigation of Utility Relocation Delays
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Utility conflicts are a primary cause of construction project delays. To mitigate delays, utility coordination is necessary. Existing utility coordination and communication studies lack an interactive method. This study ...
Response of Concrete Elements Subjected to Impact by Fragments with Varying Aspect Ratios
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Concrete specimens of varying compressive strengths were subjected to impact from fragments with relatively common width-to-thickness, or aspect, ratios. The influence of material characteristics on penetration and perforation ...
Laboratory Curing Protocols to Replicate Thermomechanical Behavior of High-Strength Concrete in Mass Placements
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper outlines a framework for a potential testing protocol in which specimens are cast following typical industry practices, cured following a specific combination of insulting blocks and variable temperature boundary ...
Stabilized Very High–Moisture Dredged Soil: Relative Behavior of Portland-Limestone Cement and Ordinary Portland Cement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Prediction of Absorbed, Inert, and Effective Bituminous Quantities in Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents methods to predict quantities of absorbed, inert, and effective bituminous material in reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for particular sets of conditions; three RAP sources were investigated. The approach ...
