Abstract: This paper describes a new model using Finite Element Modeling Laboratory (FEMLAB). The model can be used to predict pavement strength development and consequently the pavement joint-sawing and opening times. The strength ...

Abstract: Durability has always been a major concern in concrete-based infrastructures. Alkali–silica reaction (ASR) is the result of a chemical reaction between hydroxyl ions in pore water and silica from aggregates and cement of ...

Abstract: The project management environment of small capital projects is unique in many ways. One unique aspect is the total administrative burden they place on resources for approvals, reviews, and execution relative to the overall ...

Abstract: This paper describes a case study investigating the use of laser scanning to acquire design and construction data. It is intended for both industry practitioners and academics who are interested in this relatively new ...

Abstract: In recent years, the state departments of transportation have implemented a number of highway rehabilitation projects across the country. These projects differ fundamentally from new highway projects in that they require ...

Abstract: The depth-to-span ratio is not only an important part of steel-concrete composite rigid-frame bridges (CRFBs) but is also one of the important parameters in designing CRFBs, determining the appearance of the bridge, volume ...

Abstract: Members of the construction project team (e.g., owner, designer, and contractor) have increasingly become more interested in and concerned about improving communications, coordination, and cooperation during the drawing ...
