Abstract: In 2002, the Ohio Research Institute for Transportation and the Environment completed one of the most comprehensive field studies ever undertaken on thermoplastic pipes, involving 18 instrumented test pipes in a variety ...

Abstract: Rerounding is a technique for remediating excess deflection in thermoplastic pipe. A pneumatic device vibrates along the vertical axis and pushes against the inside crown and invert to restore the original pipe shape and ...

Abstract: Between 2001 and 2002, a

Abstract: Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has been gaining attention in the past few years because it offers several advantages over traditional hot mix asphalt (HMA) during production and placement. The advantages include: (1) reduced energy ...

Abstract: This paper presents the updated long-term field performance data from the thermoplastic pipe deep burial study that the writers first initiated in the summer of 1999. The data from the past four to five years are presented ...

Abstract: In-service conditions of a corrugated high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipeline network embedded within a bioleaching pad in the Atacama Desert in Chile were assessed. The pipes provided air for the copper extraction process ...

Abstract: Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has received considerable attention in the past few years to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions during hot mix asphalt (HMA) production and placement. However, many concerns and questions ...

Abstract: In April 2014, a large structural plate arch culvert collapsed in Licking County, Ohio. The structure’s demise appeared to be related to a slope failure experienced by the roadway embankment fill above the inlet section. ...

Abstract: Unbonded concrete overlay (UBCO) is a widely used rehabilitation technique for deteriorated pavements, which is accomplished by placing concrete overlay on top of existing pavement with a sandwiched bond breaker layer ...
