Examining Current State of Practice of Enhancing Visibility of Winter Operations Vehicles
(2020-05-29)
Despite precautions taken by the operators of maintenance vehicles, insufficient visibility of winter operations vehicles cause many collisions in the United States. Numerous methods have been developed to enhance the ...
Sustainable and Inclusive Engineering: The Use of Mentors and Sustainable Remediation to Increase the Presence of Underrepresented Groups in Engineering
(2022-08-12)
The recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in engineering, such as women, has been a priority for many decades to diversify the profession to meet the current demand for engineers. Unfortunately, barriers ...
EVALUATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SULFATE CONTENT AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY
(2022-12-19)
Texas soils typically have sulfate content due to certain geologic formation types. Soil sulfate needs to be identified and quantified to minimize damage to infrastructure caused by sulfate-induced heave. Electrical ...
Reuse of Recycled Plastic for Subgrade Treatment
(2022-12-19)
Disposal of solid waste becomes a global issue due to it contains a large amount of non- degradable polymers and may lead to many environmental issues. With the scarcity of space for landfilling and due to ever increasing ...
PAVEMENT TEMPERATURE RESPONSE TO COLD FRONTS: A MODEL COLUMN STUDY IN A FREEZER BOX
(2021-05-05)
The correlation of meteorological data and pavement conditions is crucial for winter pavement maintenance, this is the main reason that it is so important to understand in what ways pavement responds to cold fronts as well ...
FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT OF PRODUCTION OF LIQUID ORGANIC FERTILIZER (LOF) FROM FOOD WASTE FOR SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT
(2021-05-04)
The increasing volume of food waste is responsible for the generation of potent greenhouse gases and is resulting in the wastage of valuable resources. In all regions of the world, the percentage of food waste in municipal ...
