Development Of A Flexible Pavement Design Procedure Based On The Mechanistic - Empirical Pavement Design Guide: A Case Study
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
This research developed design tables of new flexible pavement structures for New York State Department of Transportation based on the Mechanistic Empirical Design Guide (MEPDG). The design tables were developed using the ...
Degradation Of Triclosan By Sulfate Radicals Generated By Metal-mediated Activation Of Oxidants
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
The presence of persistent and toxic compounds, especially pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water resources has generated considerable scientific, regulatory, and public interests, requiring the ...
SWCC And Clay Mineralogy Based Models For Realistic Simulation Of Swell Behavior Of Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Predicting the volume change behavior of expansive soils has been a major challenge to the engineers in the past few years, due to the intricate couple effects caused by different soil composition parameters toward swelling. ...
Design Of Short Drilled Shaft Foundations In High-plasticity Clay Under Inclined Loading
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Drilled shaft foundations are primarily used to support structures such as bridge piers, towers, buildings, transmission towers, and roadway cable barriers. Generally, the main characteristics of drilled shafts are to ...
Pseudo-probabilistic User Equilibrium Assignment In Travel Corridor Networks Containing Managed Facilities
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Throughout the years, transportation organizations and agencies have been unable to keep up with increasing demand for roadway facilities. Similarly, traditional public-sector funding such as motor fuel taxes is falling ...
Impact Of Transit-oriented Infrastructure Investments on Property Valuations
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The population explosion of the second half of the last century brought about increased human activity. Much of the attendant increased access to activities has been facilitated by the incredible technological advances in ...
Effect Of Pavement Type On Fuel Consumption In City Driving
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Vehicular fuel consumption and emissions are two increasingly important measures of effectiveness of sustainable transportation systems, particularly considering that mobile sources in the U.S. account for the largest ...
A New Paradigm In User Equilibrium - Application In Managed Lane Pricing
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Ineffective use of the High-Occupancy-Vehicle (HOV) lanes has the potential to decrease the overall roadway capacity during peak periods. Excess capacity in HOV lanes during peak periods can be made available to other ...
Flexural Behavior Of Steel Fiber Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Beams And Double Punch Test For Fiber Reinforced Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Steel fibers have widely been used in the past to reinforce brittle materials in many nonstructural applications such as pavement, tunneling lining, etc. On the basis of numerous previous studies, ACI 318-11 [2011] has ...
Performance-based Plastic Design Of Earthquake Resistant Steel Structures: Concentrically Braced Frames, Tall Moment Frames, Plate Shear Wall Frames
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-03-03)
It is well known that structures designed by current codes experience large inelastic deformations during major earthquakes. However, current seismic design practice in the U.S. is based on elastic structural behavior and ...
