Effect of Short-Term Freeze-Thaw Cyclingon Composite Confined Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete cylinders jacketed with glass and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites were exposed to 201 freeze-thaw cycles, and results of compression response were compared with results from similar specimens kept ...
Impact of Asphalt Concrete Properties on the Illinois Flexibility Index Cracking and Hamburg Wheel Tracking Test Rutting Potential
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Superpave balanced mix design (BMD) approaches have been adopted using the Illinois Flexibility Index test (I-FIT) for cracking and Hamburg wheel tracking test (HWTT) for rutting. The objective of this study was to evaluate ...
Pseudotransient Continuation Method in Extended Period Simulation of Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents and discusses a new static solver that implements the pseudotransient continuation method for the quasi-steady state analysis, or extended-period simulation of water distribution systems. The implementation ...
Statistical Analysis of Hot-Mix Asphalt Pay for Performance versus Quality Control for Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Statistical analysis of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) data for quality assurance programs used by the Illinois DOT was conducted. The aim was to quantify the total amount of incentives and disincentives, and distribution of the ...
