Abstract: Asphalt can be more effectively used in emergency paving operations than it has been in previous years. This paper is the culmination of a multiyear emergency paving effort which demonstrated at full-scale that asphalt ...

Abstract: A data acquisition program was written to allow independent triggering of multiple test sections of a thin flexible pavement. A total of 129 electronic sensors were installed in 17 test sections and subjected to 2,100 truck ...

Abstract: Results from a finite-element program developed in the commercial code Plaxis were compared to those from an instrumented thin flexible pavement containing multiple test sections. The model has performed reasonably well ...

Abstract: This paper uses information collected from a full-scale untrafficked test section originally constructed for an emergency paving demonstration to determine the short- and longer-term effects of short-term aging on mixture ...

Abstract: This paper uses mixture tests on cores from a full-scale and untrafficked test section to evaluate mixture conditioning protocols intended to simulate asphalt mixture damage experienced from non–load-associated environmental ...

Abstract: In recent years, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), among others, has begun considering thin-lift overlays (e.g., 2.5 cm or less) as a pavement preservation treatment; however, longer-term field ...

Abstract: A full-scale airfield pavement section was constructed and trafficked by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to evaluate the performance of geogrid reinforced flexible airfield pavement structures ...

Abstract: Utility conflicts are a primary cause of construction project delays. To mitigate delays, utility coordination is necessary. Existing utility coordination and communication studies lack an interactive method. This study ...

Abstract: Concrete specimens of varying compressive strengths were subjected to impact from fragments with relatively common width-to-thickness, or aspect, ratios. The influence of material characteristics on penetration and perforation ...
