Experimental And Field Monitoring Studies On Recycled Materials As Pavement Bases
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Natural aggregates derived from a variety of source rocks have been used as a road base material. But the extraction of natural aggregates resources is increasingly being constrained by urbanization, increased costs and ...
Life Cycle Assessment Of Bio-material Stabilized Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Pavement cracking is one of the major maintenance works that requires millions of dollars in repair costs annually. Pavement cracks are formed due to moisture and temperature fluctuations in the soil. Stabilization of ...
The Effect Of Temperature On Fiber Composite Bridge Decks
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
The use of Fiber composite honeycomb structure's as bridge decks gained importance, because of its low light weight and ease of installation.
In this study, The Fiber composite bridge decks were subjected to thermal ...
Non-linear Finite Element Dynamic Analysis Of Tapered Hollow Steel Poles For Passive Base Isolation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Long tapered poles are commonly used to support Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras for security and traffic monitoring. Images received from CCTV are normally distorted depending on the wind induced vibration ...
Regression Model For Prioritization Of Corridors When Retiming Traffic Signals
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Traffic signals are used by transportation engineers to safely and efficiently manage vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on roadways. However, to maintain the effectiveness of traffic signals, traffic signals should ...
Trends Of Vehicular Emissions For Clean Air Associates Precombustion Retrofit Device
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-04-22)
The research study objective was to find if there was any reduction in onboard exhaust emissions from a light duty passenger car (2007 Dodge Charger) with a Clean Air Catalytic Converter manufactured by Clean Air Associates, ...
Development Of A Freeway Incident Rating System
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-09-17)
A freeway incident rating system is proposed to classify incidents in terms of their disruptive potential to cause delays, fuel wastage, secondary accidents, and other adverse operational impacts. A two-dimensional rating ...
First Findings from the Kansas Perpetual Pavements Experiment
(Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, 2008)
To investigate the suitability of the perpetual pavements concept for
Kansas highway pavements, the Kansas Department of Transportation
(KDOT) constructed four thick, flexible pavement structures on a new
alignment on ...
Operations-Oriented Performance Measures For Freeway Management Systems: Final Report
(Texas A&M University. Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), 2008-12)
This report describes the second and final year activities of the project titled “Using Operations-Oriented Performance Measures to Support Freeway Management Systems.” Work activities included developing a prototype system ...
Investigations of shear behavior in reinforced concrete boxes
(American Concrete Pipe Association, 2008)
Box culverts have been used increasingly since 1965 to meet drainage requirements where the site conditions and loads acting upon them have been appropriate. It is believed that 80% of single barrel culvert installations ...
