    • Cost Trade‐Off Analysis for Bus Facility Expansion 

      Wilbert E. Wilhelm; Wyley J. Parks (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)
      This paper describes a study that evaluated relative costs of alternate facility configurations to support an expanding Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) fleet. Each configuration was composed of a combination of the ...

    • Twenty‐Five Years with the Pipeline Division 

      Francis Stastny (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)
      Growth of the technical activities of ASCE was recognized as early as 1919. Director J. C. Hoyt proposed the identification of Divisions of the Society in 1921. The need for the Pipeline Division was recognized after World ...

    • Pavement Management for Large Highway Networks 

      Walter P. Kilareski; Charles J. Churilla (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)
      This paper presents the results of a special study which was conducted to determine how a heavily industrialized state, with a large highway network such as Pennsylvania, can develop a Pavement Management System (PMS). The ...

    • Cooling Curve Prediction of Asphaltic Concrete 

      R. Kenneth Wolfe; George L. Heath; David C. Colony (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)
      During cold wealther periods, asphalt concrete highway construction is frequently postponed because the hot asphalt concrete cools too rapidly for proper compaction to take place. If the cooling rates and asphalt concrete ...

    • Load Reductions on Buried Rigid Pipe 

      Lawrence C. Rude (American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)
      Buried structures such as pipes and culverts are often installed in the ground with special soft inclusion materials whose purpose is to reduce the overburden pressure that these structures must support. This study showed ...
