Abstract: The relationships between axle weight and pavement damage are traditionally based on data collected from road tests. The goal of the research presented in this paper is to use available field data to develop nonlinear ...

Abstract: An efficient element for static and dynamic analysis of plates including geometric effects is presented. A formulation of the “heterosis element” presented by Hughes and Cohen for linear static analysis of Mindlin plates ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to develop a microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based intelligent hybrid Biaxial Strain Transducer (BiAST) sensor for predicting railroad fatigue life based on strain history. The developed ...

Abstract: The efficient utilization of construction and maintenance resources requires the ability to effectively predict and model subgrade pumping in rigid concrete pavements. A review of the evolution of a rigid pavement pumping ...
