Modified Asphalt Binders for Military Airfield Pavements
This report documents a laboratory-based research effort to determine the effects of asphalt modifiers and alternate binders on asphalt airfield pavements. The modified binders were tested...
Recycling Bituminous Runway Pavement into Aggregate Base Course
The paper discusses the development of recycling existing bituminous runway pavement by pulverizing into aggregate base course. To best explain the design, construction procedures and...
Results of the 1989 ASCE Airfield Pavement Survey
In November of 1989, the American Society of Civil Engineers Airfield Pavement Committee sent out questionnaires to airfield pavement engineers across the country to assess the most recent...
Automating Airfield Condition Data Collection
This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the newest technology for the data collection requirements of an airport interested in implementing a pavement management system....

The Nessus Software System for Probabilistic Structural Analysis
The Probabilistic Structural Analysis Methods (PSAM) project developed at SwRI integrates state-of-the-art structural analysis techniques with probability theory for the design and analysis...
Wave Propagation in Hyper-Structures
The concept of hyperelement was introduced by E. Kausel and J.M. Roesset, 1977 in connection with the derivation of the dynamic stiffness matrix for layered continuum problems involving...
MECHOD: A Mechanistic Overlay Design Program for Flexible Pavements
This paper presents a fully mechanistic asphalt overlay design procedure for use on microcomputers. The procedure is based on fundamental characteristics of pavement layer properties and...
Lapsize Computers and Local Pavement Management
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a portable computer, the GRIDcase Plus, in local pavement management. A software program in BASIC is developed to run on the GRID, to...
Road Surface Management System for Small to Midsized Communities
This paper describes a Road Surface Management Systems (RSMS) developed by the New Hampshire Technology Transfer Center. Subjects covered include RSMS components, road inventories, repair...
Flow Separation of Currents in Shallow Water
Flow separation of currents in shallow coastal areas is investigated using a boundary layer model for two-dimensional (depth-averaged) tidal flow past an elliptic headland. If the shoaling...
Mudflow Rheology in a Vertically Rotating Flume
Joint research by the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Missouri-Rolla currently (1990) is being conducted on a 3.05 meters in diameter vertically rotating flume used to simulate...
Pressure and Stress Distributions Due to a Submerged Impinging Jet
This investigation examines the pressure and shear stress distribution at a smooth planar boundary in the impingement region of a submerged vertical jet in water. The mean pressure and...
Mass Conservation in the RMA2V Code
This paper discusses the RMA2V hydrodynamic code with a particular interest in mass conservation problems. These originate from at least two sources. One of which is the slip flow boundary...
Computer Watersheds
As development extends further and population densities increase, old methods of stormwater management become obsolete. Runoff from one site can cause flooding elsewhere in a watershed;...
Curing Time for CRCP Mixtures Based on Flexural Strength
In this paper, the effect of different curing conditions on the flexural strength is investigated, and also the minimum required period for moist curing is found. The combined effect of...
Effect of Environment on Durability of Pavement Materials: An Overview
The best known causes of material degradation in pavements include environment, traffic loads, and the use of substandard materials. Presented in the paper is a critical review of the...
Lime-Fly Ash-Aggregate Base and Subbase Courses
This paper describes the use of lime-fly ash-aggregate (LFA) base and subbase courses for highway pavements. This type pavement course is considered as an alternate to cement treated bases...
Application of BEM to Two-Dimensional EPFM
This paper describes the authors' current and continuing research in application of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to crack growth problems in Elastoplastic Fracture Mechanics...
