Abstract: A material selected for pavement base layers must possess the structural capacity to withstand stresses and strains caused by vehicle loading and environmental factors. Self-consolidating base material (SCBM) is a variant ...

Abstract: This paper describes depth-calibrated live-load attenuation for the load rating of reinforced-concrete box culverts using production-simplified models. In-plane depth calibration is accomplished using a production-simplified, ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from a laboratory program of 287 pullout tests of galvanized steel reinforcements used in the construction of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. Results focus on the evaluation of pullout ...

Abstract: A detailed experimental and theoretical study was undertaken to evaluate the leak rate of liquids through flaws in synthetic flexible membrane liners (FMLs) into a compacted soil subbase. In the experimental phase of the ...

Abstract: Analyses of two production-oriented culvert load-rating demand models were performed using live-load test data from three instrumented RC box culverts under four cover soil depths. The demand models were a two-dimensional ...
