Abstract: The quantile prediction accuracy of the log-Pearson type III (LP3) distribution depends largely on the accuracy of the parameter-estimation method used. The performance of a parameter-estimation method, on the other hand, ...

Abstract: A regional frequency analysis procedure is outlined and applied to precipitation data in Louisiana. A total of 92 rain gauges were used to generate 25 synthesized stations with long periods of record. Annual maximum series ...

Abstract: Studies in recent years have demonstrated that warm-mix asphalt (WMA) additives can effectively reduce the production temperature of crumb-rubber-modified asphalt (CRMA) mixtures without significantly affecting the engineering ...

Abstract: Studies in recent years have proved that warm-mix asphalt (WMA) additives can effectively improve the rheological properties of crumb-rubber-modified asphalt (CRMA) without significantly affecting its engineering properties. ...

Abstract: In this study, a number of theoretical improvements were made to the finite‐element formulation for modeling three‐dimensional steady and unsteady ground‐water flow. First, the Galerkin method was combined with the collocation ...

Abstract: Five major modifications to the Galerkin finite-element formulation for solute transport were made in this study: (1) A mixed formulation for the time-derivative term of the governing equation was developed by combining ...

Abstract: In view of environmental concerns and rising price in pavement materials, the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures has gained in popularity recently. However, the aggregate dispersion uniformity of ...

Abstract: The mechanical properties of tunnel support structures have been widely studied by researchers, but there are insufficient studies concerning energy mechanism and mechanical properties in the failure process of concrete ...

Abstract: Production, transport, and placement processes of asphalt mixture are considered as the key phases of road construction. Intelligent control technology has recently been developed and applied for controlling the temperature ...
