Analysis of Pavement Overlay and Replacement Performance Using Random Parameters Hazard-Based Duration Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The effectiveness of pavement overlays and pavement replacements in terms of their impact on pavement life is not well understood. This is complicated further by data collection limitations and by the effect that physical ... -
Objective Procedure for Optimization of Inspection and Testing Strategies for Spillways
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The function of a spillway gate system is to control the flow of water through an opening for purposes such as flow regulation, flood control, emergency water release during load rejection, and dewatering for maintenance ... -
Use of Aluminum Residue and Recycled Asphalt Pavement Materials to Stabilize Silty Clay Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The effectiveness of mixing aluminum residue and recycled asphalt pavement materials (RAPs) with silty clay soil on the soil’s physical properties was discussed. The mixing material that is used enhances the silty clay ... -
Impacts of Nighttime-Only Truck Traffic Regulation on Pavement Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)With the increasing congestion and pollution in metropolitan areas, various types of regulations have been applied to control truck traffic. Restricting truck traffic to off-hours is one commonly used policy and its ... -
Critical Factors Affecting the Efficient Use of Public Investments in Infrastructure in Vietnam
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper examines the critical factors affecting the efficient use of public investments in infrastructure to support trade and economic development. Investments in infrastructure have increasingly been used to improve ... -
Reduction of Impulse-Response Data on Rigid Pavement: Comparison of Single Degree of Freedom, Cone, and Lumped Parameter Dynamic Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The Impulse Response (IR) method is a nondestructive method that has been successfully used to detect voids or loss of support underneath rigid pavement and to evaluate the pavement subgrade. Voids or loss of support can ... -
Quantitative Analysis of Chloride Ion Diffusion in Cementitious Materials Using Al27 NMR Spectroscopy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was employed to evaluate the effects of chloride ion diffusion on the chemical environment of hydrated cement paste and concrete. -
Application of Impact Resonance C-Scan Stack Images to Evaluate Bridge Deck Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This study presents a practical approach for imaging concrete pavement and bridge deck slabs for the presence of delamination defects. Air-coupled impact resonance (impact-echo) test data are presented as a fused image by ... -
Environmental and Economic Life-Cycle Assessment of Municipal Water-Storage Options: Infrastructure Refurbishment versus Replacement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A large proportion of U.S. civil infrastructure will need to be refurbished or replaced in the coming decades. How to do so while considering various aspects of sustainability is a major challenge for engineers, utilities, ... -

Framework for Monitoring and Assessing Performance Quality of Railway Network Infrastructure: Hellenic Railways Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)In accordance with European Policy, management, maintenance, upgrading, and repair of existing infrastructures play a very important role in their optimal use. Availability and access to information regarding the track-support ... -
Infrastructure Condition Assessment, Deterioration Modeling, and Maintenance Decision Making: Methodological Advances and Practical Considerations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2006) -
Determination of Optimal MR&R Policies for Retaining Life-Cycle Connectivity of Bridge Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Bridge management problems are computationally difficult to solve when considering network connectivity, because all bridges must be analyzed together. Past research has usually adopted simulation-based numerical methods, ... -

Ex-Ante Evaluation of Public-Private Partnerships: Macroeconomic Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are currently a popular approach for governments to procure social and economic infrastructure. The macroeconomic environment plays a critical role and influences the factors that can ... -
Estimation of Infrastructure Distress Initiation and Progression Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)Infrastructure distress models predict the initiation and progression of distress on a facility over time as a function of age, design characteristics, environmental factors, and so on. Examples of facility distress included ... -
