Abstract: The international roughness index (IRI) is a measurement of pavement roughness that is widely accepted for evaluating pavement serviceability, especially its riding quality. Generally, as the age of pavement increases, its ...

Abstract: It is important to deal with energy saving in buildings of one city level, and plan the energy system from one building to one city level. We strongly suggest conducting urban building energy ...

Abstract: Most state highway agencies conduct inventory friction testing on mainline highways to monitor network pavement friction performance. However, no state highway agencies have been reported to monitor pavement friction ...

Abstract: Up to now, the postconsolidation bearing capacity enhancement of jack-up spudcan foundation has been explored using centrifuge model tests and numerical analyses, which however ignored the realistic jack-up lattice leg. ...

Abstract: Construction management education in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) domain is increasingly challenged with managing limited resources while increasing instructors’ teaching effectiveness and improving ...

Abstract: Benchmarking the energy efficiency of buildings is important for optimizing the efficient use of energy and reducing carbon footprint. Healthcare facilities have especially high energy usage, but the historical difficulty ...

Abstract: The rapid jack-in process of spudcan footing tends to generate substantial build-up of excess pore pressure below the spudcan underside. An intimate knowledge of the excess pore pressure concentration is thus of significance ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a simple effective stress method for modeling the strain rate-dependent strength behavior that is experienced by many fine-grained soils in offshore events when subjected to rapid, large strain, undrained ...

Abstract: In estimating the vertical bearing capacity of spudcan foundation, the effect of the realistic lattice leg extending from the top of the spudcan is often ignored. This paper examines both the lattice leg and sleeve effect ...

Abstract: The long-term friction performance of safety-focused friction surfacing, especially high-friction surface treatment (HFST), relies primarily on the properties of aggregate. Nevertheless, inconsistencies exist in the ...
