Abstract: An expansion joint in a concrete structure was instrumented and monitored for a period of one year. The structure is an open four-story car park, measuring 90 m (295.4 ft) in length and 71.62 m (235 ft) in width. It is a ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the classification of road accidents using neural networks and fuzzy classification techniques. Accident correctability by road improvements has been advocated as an important criterion in the ...

Abstract: In traditional black-spot programs aimed at improving highway safety, locations are identified as accident prone based on the total number of accidents. This criteria provides no consideration of whether the accidents were ...

Abstract: Continuity diaphragms used in prestressed girder bridges on skewed bents have caused difficulties in detailing and construction. The results of the field verification for the effectiveness of continuity diaphragms for ...

Abstract: The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures provides the means to recycle the existing roadway and use that material, in a limited amount, in the construction of new pavements. This is an environmentally ...

Abstract: Owners of multiple facilities who maintain large capital portfolios are challenged with efficient maintenance to streamline operational processes and costs. Clearly defined and structured information documentation standards ...

Abstract: This paper assesses the performance of a newly developed blind bolt, intended for use in constructing bolted moment-resisting connections to concrete-filled tubular steel profiles. A total of ten connection tests are ...

Abstract: Tests are described in which 12 castellated beams were loaded to failure in order to study the buckling of the web post between openings. In 10 cases web-post buckling occurred. Finite-element analysis (FEM) of the web ...
