Network-Level Pavement Asset Management System Integrated with Life-Cycle Analysis and Life-Cycle Optimization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)The authors have developed a new network-level pavement asset management system (PAMS) utilizing life-cycle analysis and optimization methods. Integrated life-cycle assessment and cost analysis expand the scope of the ... -
Performance of Ductile Iron Pipes. I: Characterization of External Corrosion Patterns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Ductile iron pipes have been used in North America since the late 1950s. This paper describes research that endeavored to gain a thorough understanding of the geometry of external corrosion pits and the factors (e.g., soil ... -
Random Parameters Seemingly Unrelated Equations Approach to the Postrehabilitation Performance of Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Pavement rehabilitation is one of the most critical and costly forms of infrastructure asset management. Yet determining the subsequent performance of rehabilitated pavements is a complex task, particularly when multiple ... -
Performance of Ductile Iron Pipes. II: Sampling Scheme and Inferring the Pipe Condition
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Ductile iron (DI) pipes have been used in North America since the late 1950s. This paper describes how understanding gained on the geometry of external corrosion pits is used to devise a sampling scheme and to infer the ... -
Heuristic Analysis of the Effective Range of a Track Tamping Machine
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper develops a methodology to define the optimum length of railway track that would undergo maintenance work by one tamping machine. The acquisition and logistic costs associated with the use of this type of machine ... -
Measurement of Accelerated Steel Corrosion in Concrete Using Ground-Penetrating Radar and a Modified Half-Cell Potential Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)A new approach is presented to evaluate corrosion of steel bars in concrete by 1.5- and 2.6-GHz ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and a modified half-cell potential method. Changes in time-lapsed travel times, amplitudes, and ... -
Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program Planning to Maximize Postearthquake Transportation Network Capacity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The bridge network, as part of the critical civil infrastructure, is susceptible to natural and man-made hazards. It is essential that the network retains its traffic-carrying capacity after a disastrous earthquake to ... -
Optimization of Short-Term On-Street Park-Pay License Plate Surveying
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Many cities in urban and suburban areas are characterized by parking space problems, especially during peak hours and special events. To overcome these problems, some local governments initiate on-street short-term pay ... -
Developments in Performance Monitoring of Concrete Exposed to Extreme Environments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The performance of the surface zone of concrete is acknowledged as a major factor governing the rate of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures because it provides the only barrier to the ingress of water containing ... -
Incorporating Delay Effects into Airport Runway Pavement Management Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper presents an approach to address pavement management decision problems at airports with multiple runways. It relaxes some of the underlying assumptions made in previous studies and explicitly considers time ... -
Implementation of LRFD of Drilled Shafts in Louisiana
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper presents reliability-based analyses for the calibration of resistance factor for axially loaded drilled shafts. A total of 16 cases of drilled-shaft load tests were collected from the Louisiana Department of ... -
Texas Department of Transportation 3D Transverse Profiling System for High-Speed Rut Measurement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2013)Pavement rutting is a critical measure of road condition. Severe rutting indicates road structure deformation and exposes drivers to hazards, especially when it holds rainwater. The Pavement Management Information System ... -
Pavement Network Maintenance Optimization Considering Multidimensional Condition Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)Pavement management systems inventory historical and current conditions of roadway networks, predict the future conditions of such networks, and suggest schedules for maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation activities. ... -
Measuring Energy Efficiency in Urban Water Systems Using a Mechanistic Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)This paper presents an energy efficiency metric for the raw water extraction process at urban water systems. Raw water pumping is the second largest energy consumer at water treatment plants after finished water pumping. ... -
Emergency Evacuation Guidance Design for Complex Building Geometries
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2012)The planning for pedestrian evacuation in large public-gathering buildings is important because pedestrians are vulnerable to various types of emergency events. One of the most critical measures of the preparedness of a ... -
