Accessibility of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering Data and the Need for Data Storage and Dissemination Standards
Ease of data access and data standards are two issues critical to the success of GIS technology when applied to earthquake hazards research problems that require geotechnical engineering...
Plastic Potential
Some 220,000 tons of epoxy-coated steel has been used in the construction of bridge decks since 1987, but some have raised questions about its long-term durability. New materials for prestressing...
Digital Evaluation of Contaminated Sites
This paper introduces digital techniques to evaluate historical maps and aerial photographs in order to detect contaminations on derelict industrial sites. Special attention is paid to...
Mechanistic Design Models of Loading and Curling in Concrete Pavements
Determination of the critical bending stress at the edge of a concrete pavement due to individual and combination effects of wheel loading and thermal curling is very crucial to any mechanistic...
Unified Constitutive Model for Airport Pavements
A unified constitutive model that allows for significant behavioral characteristics of materials and interfaces in airport pavement is implemented in a nonlinear finite element procedure....
Reliability-Based Analysis and Design of Flexible Airfield Pavements
This paper illustrates, a new reliability-based procedure to analyze existing pavements and design new pavements that is being developed by the U.S. Air Force. The procedure uses a rigorous...
Pavement Design Considerations for Heavy Aircraft Loading at BAA Airports
BAA operates seven airports in the United Kingdom. Two of them, Heathrow and Gatwick, handled 61 million passengers in 1991 with 543,000 air transport movements, 25% by wide-bodied aircraft....
Densification of Asphalt Pavements by Traffic
Since asphalt pavements rut when the voids are filled with asphalt (and voids can become filled by traffic densification) the voids that develop under traffic are vital to any mix design...
Portland Cement Concrete Apron Pavement Design Study for King Fahd International Airport in Saudi Arabia
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5320-6C used for design of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements for airports does not account for the site-specific...
Evaluation of a Large Aggregate Asphaltic Layer in an Airside Pavement
A new analytical method of designing large aggregate asphalt mixes (LAM) was used to design a thick asphalt base layer for an aircraft taxiway. The results of an analysis on the material...
North Ramp Pavement Evaluation/Rehabilitation?Houston Intercontinental Airport
The North Ramp at Houston's Intercontinental Airport is approximately 23 years old and serves Terminals A and B and also serves as a primary taxiway. Prior to having the new international...
Recycling Concrete and Asphalt Pavements Rehabilitation of Runway 18R-36L Orlando International Airport
The subject project consisted of reconstructing an air carrier runway utilizing a concrete keel section with asphalt overlays along the runway edges. Associated taxiways were rehabilitated...
Use of Porous Friction Course to Retard Reflection Cracks in Bituminous Overlays
Porous Friction Courses (PFC) are open-graded, high air void, bituminous mixtures that are applied to pavement surfaces to improve skid resistance. In 1989, PFC was used as an interlayer...
Evaluation and Overlay Design of Airport Pavements
Heavy weight deflectometer (HWD), a heavier version of the falling weight deflectometer, enables detailed evaluation of airport pavements to be performed using a rapid a non-destructive...
Rehabilitation of Runway 4R-22L at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport
This paper describes the systematic process that was used to develop a rehabilitation strategy for the busiest runway at O'Hare International Airport. Any rehabilitation alternative that...
Use of Surface Treatments on Airport Pavements
Asphalt is generally used as the surfacing for flexible airport pavements with airline passenger jet aircraft. In Australia and its neighbouring territories, surface treatments (seals)...
The TrAAm People Mover Project
TrAAm is the new exclusive people mover for American Airlines at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Since opening in late 1991 it has been carrying over 18,000 people a day....
Chicago-O'Hare International Airport Transit System (ATS)
This paper describes the development of the O'Hare Airport Transit System, as well as, the individual subsystem elements which make up the entire system. In addition, the paper also describes...
