Abstract: Spalling has been observed repeatedly at joints in newly constructed airfield pavements. Investigations of specific occurrences found a variety of causes for these problems, but they could all be categorized as being caused ...

Abstract: This paper describes an investigation of curling problems in steel‐fiber‐reinforced‐concrete airport pavements. All the pavements were relatively thin with large plan dimensions. Analysis showed that only small amounts of ...

Abstract: This paper describes a failure of linoleum-tile floor covering placed on a concrete slab in a retail grocery facility. Moisture caused the failure, but different parties involved in the project postulated different sources ...

Abstract: Geology and related earth processes are an inherent part of civil engineering design and construction. This paper examines eight specific examples to illustrate how geologic factors can dominate project behavior. The ...

Abstract: Pavement failure is a common and recurring problem. The results of such failures are not catastrophic like the collapse of a building or a failure of a dam, but they represent a serious financial loss and are a nuisance ...

Abstract: This paper reviews some of the past instrumentation and performance measuring used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to develop its rigid‐pavement design procedures, and it will consider two areas where future studies ...

Abstract: A newly developed digital image-analysis method was used to characterize the morphological characteristics of coarse aggregates. Regression analyses found that the imaging morphological characteristics of coarse aggregates ...
