Contribution of Day-Night Temperature Fluctuation to Top-Down Cracking in Asphalt Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Top-down longitudinal cracking in asphalt pavement is one of the serious issues in cold regions, although a recently developed pavement mechanistic-empirical (ME) design guide predicts the amount of this cracking damage ... -
Ice-Resistant Performance Analysis of Jackup Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Jackup structures that have cylindrical legs with gear teeth are widely used in shallow waters. Currently, there is a growing demand for the design of ice-resistant jackup platforms in ice-prone cold regions. Due to the ... -
Impacts of a Pervious Concrete Retention System on Neighboring Clay Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study evaluated changes in moisture and temperature of clay soils next to an underground aggregate storage bed of a pervious concrete pavement system during the winter in Pullman, Washington. Sensors were installed ... -
Development of a Flexible Winter Severity Index for Snow and Ice Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Snow removal and ice control are critical to the safe and efficient use of roadways in much of the world. Tools that help road authorities plan for, assess, and communicate about winter maintenance activities are increasingly ... -
Laboratory and Field Study of Electroosmosis Dewatering for Pavement Subgrade Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Electroosmosis (EO) is considered a promising technique for reducing water content in soft soils. In this study, a multiscale experiment was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of EO in controlling the water content ... -
Performance of Clay Soil Reinforced with Fly Ash and Lignin Fiber Subjected to Freeze-Thaw Cycles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper aims to present the results of an experimental investigation related to the unconsolidated undrained triaxial compression behavior of fine-grained soil as a function of freeze-thaw cycles, and fly ash–lignin ... -
Effective and Safe Berming for Pavement Shoulder Maintenance in Cold Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Berming is a common nationwide practice in the United States for pavement shoulder maintenance, especially for states located in cold regions. Competent berming helps to improve the load support capacity of the pavement ... -
Snow Friction Coefficient for Commercial Roofing Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Redistribution of snow loads on two adjacent buildings of different heights is addressed. The term slippery roofs is used but it is not defined. Measurements of friction between snow and commercial roofing materials are ... -
Environmental Considerations in the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide: Impacts on Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper is a continuation of an earlier overview on the subject and presents the results of a sensitivity analysis that assessed the ability of the new design guide to portray the impact of temperature and moisture ... -
Long-Term Use of Diatomite Slope Embankments in Warm Permafrost Regions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Diatomite is a highly porous media with significant water absorption and retention capacity. In order to investigate the long-term cooling effect of diatomite on a roadbed in a warm permafrost region, a diatomite embankment ... -
Effect of Combined Freeze-Thaw and Ferrate(VI) Treatments on Escherichia coli in Phosphate-Buffered Saline
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The study examined the individual and combined effects of potassium ferrate(VI) and freeze-thaw treatment for the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution. A low dose (LD) ... -
Ice Jams in Straight and Sinuous Channels: Insights from Small Flumes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents insights from two small flumes used to compare ice conveyance and jam initiation between straight and sinuous channels of rectangular cross section, and to investigate ice accumulation and jam morphology ... -
Frost Damage in Pavement: Causes and Cures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views ... -
Anchorage Peat Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The peat assessed in this study is Sphagnum moss that formed during the Holocene in wetland bogs around Anchorage, Alaska. Undisturbed peat in these bogs has a water content that ranges from 400 to 1,000% and averages 620%. ... -
Monitoring and Modeling the Variations of Structural Behavior of a Flexible Pavement Structure during Freezing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the results of a study carried out to monitor the structural behavior of a flexible pavement in cold regions, which is significantly affected by environmental factors and traffic loads. In this study, ... -
Cut-Slope Icing Prevention: Case Study of the Seasonal Frozen Area of Western China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Icing caused by the construction of cut-slope roadways is a severe problem in cold regions and is difficult to mitigate. This study proposes a method for preventing icing on cut-slope roadways. A new structure for icing ... -
Fish, Ice, and Wedge-Wire Screen Water Intakes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The U.S. Clean Water Act requires that the Environmental Protection Agency ensures that the location, design, construction, and capacity of water intakes for thermal power plants reflect the best technology available to ... -
