RISTemperature Distribution in Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall Soil Backfills for Design Under Elevated Temperature Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Twodimensional (2D) transient numerical thermal modeling was undertaken using ansys fluent v12.1 software to estimate distribution of soil backfill temperatures in a typical mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall. The ...
Deflection-Based Metric for Identifying Critical Pavement Sections against Subgrade Shear Failure under Superheavy Loads: A Case Study of Alberta, Canada
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractMovement of superheavy loads (SHLs) plays an essential role in various industries
by facilitating transportation of heavy payloads. These industries including oil,
chemical, electrical, and defense rely on specialized ...
Network-Level Pavement Structural Evaluation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the use of traffic-speed deflection devices for the structural evaluation of pavements at the network level as part of an effort funded by the Federal Highway Administration. Highlights from three major ...
Probabilistic Mechanistic-Based Pavement Damage Costs for Multitrip Overweight Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to present a probabilistic approach for estimating asphalt concrete (AC) pavement damage–associated costs (PDAC) attributed to overweight (OW) vehicles. The approach is based on ...
