Abstract: An improved interpretation method of the pressuremeter test is presented. The geometric nonlinearity of soil behavior is accounted for by adopting a nonlinear strain‐displacement relationship (Eulerian form). Also, the ...

Abstract: The effect of Poisson's ratio on the disturbance index is considered by obtaining solutions to expansion of cylindrical cavities in layered elastic system. For a specific size of the remolded annulus, the disturbance index ...

Abstract: A new formula is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of axially loaded pile groups. The derivation of the formula is based on the premise that the group effect can be taken into consideration only for the load component ...

Abstract: As part of Florida DOT (FDOT)’s Partnering Program, a temporary roadway was designed and constructed using three different pavement sections. The program consisted of pavement construction monitoring and field/laboratory ...

Abstract: Construction of shoulders using untreated reclaimed asphalt pavement (UNRAP) represents a new construction technique for Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and other DOTs throughout the country. The objective of ...

Abstract: Bridges with unknown foundations have been a burden on the transportation agencies across the United States because of the lack of funding and availability of rational methods to determine the risk of failure of these ...

Abstract: Truck platooning is a futuristic transportation system that is being explored by many countries and several states in the United States in a collaborative environment among stakeholders through on-road pilot testing and ...
