Abstract: The City and County of Denver (CCD) and the University of Colorado Denver have been involved in cooperative research since 1997. Although a variety of projects have been completed, the main deliverable has been a comprehensive ...

Abstract: Variable curing temperatures were used to simulate the condition of how mass concrete cures and how temperature affects strength development. For normal-strength portland cement concrete, higher curing temperature during ...

Abstract: The maturity method is used to estimate the effects of time and temperature on the strength development of concrete. This paper shows how variable curing temperatures affect strength development for both normal and ...

Abstract: Nondestructive testing techniques have been historically and commonly used to evaluate the quality of existing concrete structures. Several traditional nondestructive testing techniques were applied to the pier caps of the ...

Abstract: The international roughness index (IRI) was developed in 1986 to generate a longitudinal roadway profile analysis tool for asphalt surfaces. The IRI is typically applied to freeway and rural highway facilities where ...

Abstract: The University of Colorado at Denver has been studying the effect of wind pressure on historic bridges to determine the structural adequacy of these structures. A number of historic bridges have been field instrumented and ...

Abstract: This paper presents an historical survey of the basis for design wind pressure used by
