Determination of Critical Concrete Pavement Fatigue Damage Locations Using Influence Lines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)In an attempt to better understand and predict rigid pavement behavior, the incorporation of material and climatic factors in mechanistic-empirical design methods are fast becoming standard in the United States. With the ... -
Survival Analysis of Fatigue Cracking for Flexible Pavements Based on Long-Term Pavement Performance Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The study presented in this paper analyzed the development patterns of fatigue cracking shown in flexible pavement test sections of the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) program. A large number of LTPP test sections ... -
Crack Width Measurements in Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Crack width is a key pavement performance parameter in continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP) because it controls the shear transfer between adjacent slabs. Several full-scale experimental sections were instrumented ... -
Influence of Bus Stops on Flow Characteristics of Mixed Traffic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The number and type of bus stops provided on a road significantly influence the flow characteristics of traffic on the road. The study of the influence of bus stops on traffic flow under homogeneous traffic conditions has ... -
Installation Load Consideration in Ultra-Deepwater Pipeline Sizing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The design of ultra-deepwater offshore pipeline is often based on the wall thickness and material grade selection to resist the local buckling due to bending, axial tension, and external pressure. Typically, this load ... -
Discussion of “Modulus of Soil Reaction ( E′ ) Values for Pipeline Design,” by Jey K. Jeyapalan and Reynold Watkins
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005) -
Automated Road Segmentation Using a Bayesian Algorithm
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Modern road profilers deliver long sequences of measurements on road characteristics including a road’s longitudinal and transversal unevenness. These measurements represent adjacent parts of the physical road, and interest ... -
HDM-4 Pavement Deterioration Models for Indian National Highway Network
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)The Highway Development and Management model (HDM-4) is a support system for decision making for highway administrators and engineers to predict the economic, social, and environmental impacts that might occur while making ... -
Asphalt Overlay and Subsurface Drainage of Broken and Seated Concrete Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This research was conducted to study subsurface drainage issues surrounding an asphalt overlay. The type of pavement that was examined in this study was a Superpave overlay on top of a Broken and Seated Jointed Reinforced ... -
Closure to “Impact Stops on Vehicle Fuel Consumption and Emissions” by Hesham Rakha and Yonglian Ding

Modeling Driver Visual Demand on Complex Horizontal Alignments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Visual information is one of the vital elements that affect driver workload. Previous studies have modeled driver visual demand on simple horizontal curves and have found that it is significantly affected by the curve ... -
Exploring Trampling and Crushing in a Crowd
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Using published field data on accidents in crowds involving either the trampling or crushing of pedestrians, a theory has been developed to model similar dangerous situations. Whether a particular situation is fatal is ... -
Methodology for Modeling Highly Heterogeneous Traffic Flow
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)This paper describes a modeling methodology adopted to simulate the flow of heterogeneous traffic with vehicles of wide ranging static and dynamic characteristics. The simulation framework for the traffic-flow model was ... -
Some Guidelines for Selecting Microsimulation Models for Interchange Traffic Operational Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)There are several commercially available traffic simulation packages that are able to model the full range of interchange ramp terminals. Each of these packages has pros and cons for simulating various types of interchanges ... -
Assessment of Construction Smoothness Specification Pay Factor Limits Using Artificial Neural Network Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Many state highway agencies are using quality control/quality assurance construction smoothness specifications that provide for contractors’ pay to be proportional to the riding comfort of the constructed new pavement. ... -
Repeatability in Crack Data Collection on Flexible Pavements: Comparison between Surveys Using Video Cameras, Laser Cameras, and a Simplified Manual Survey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2005)Crack data can be collected using manual or automatic surveys. Traditionally, manual methods are used, and they are still the most common. Changing into automatic systems will enhance the efficiency of data collection as ... -
