Design Criteria and Specifications for Pipeline Rehabilitation Projects
Pipeline rehabilitation, while not a completely new technology, is nevertheless a fairly recent development, just now coming to the forefront as to common usage. It is not however a fail-safe...
Modeling Nutrient Loadings from Croplands in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Model, based on the U.S. EPA Hydrologic Simulation Program Fortran (HSPF) provides a framework for evaluating and quantifying nutrient loadings to the Chesapeake...

Advancing Anchorage Technology
An overview of earth anchorage technology, with emphasis on current U.S. corrosion protection practice as compared to that used in Europe. Comments from U.S. practitioners involved in...
Building Better Bridges: Concrete Vs. Steel
The authors debate the merits of concrete segmental and steel bridge design and construction based on five criteria: initial and life-cycle costs; structural advantages; durability; construction...
Design-Build Goes Public
Public owners of civil works get paid to avoid risk. It's their job. Why try some experimental technique for building offices when safe, proven methods exist? But times have...
Masonry as a Structural Material
Four case studies are presented which illustrate the use of masonry as a structural material. Results of laboratory studies for unreinforced piers subjected to in-plane lateral forces,...
A More Rational Approach to Pavements
It is the intent of this paper to demonstrate how purely probabilistic arguments can be used to formulate a rational (phenomenonological) model of the particulate media that comprise pavement...
Successful High Traffic Chip Seal Construction
Chip seal coats are used to extend pavement service life by reducing water and air infiltration and improving skid resistance. Application of chip seals is usually limited to low-traffic...
Realistic Specifications for Steel Bridge Painting
Specifications play a vital role in a steel bridge painting contract. They not only can ease problems with painting construction, but can also provide a common standard for all parties...
Implementation of Material Requirements in Specifications
This paper focuses on where to find information on materials, their compatibility, minimum standards and specifying of materials and their use. The paper also presents case histories on...
Performance of Free Draining Base Course at Fort Campbell, Kentucky
In 1990 a free draining base course layer was constructed in the structural section of a pavement to be used as a military vehicle maintenance yard at Port Campbell, Kentucky. The Corps...
Reliability-Based Design for Feeeze-Thaw Concrete
Observation of pavements in Iowa shows results from the test for freezing and thawing of concrete, ASTM C-666, is not always consistent with field performance. Similar concrete made with...
Adhesives and Structural Plastics
An overview of some primary considerations for the use of adhesives and their advantages in connection of structural plastics is presented. Effective joint geometries, surface preparations,...
Experimental Investigation of Self-Tapping Fasteners for Attachment of Corrugated Cladding Panels to Pultruded Fiber-Reinforced Plastics Beams in Industrial Building Construction
This paper describes an experimental investigation of self-tapping fasteners for the attachment of corrugated fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) cladding panels to pultruded FRP beams. Although...
Investigation of the Behavior of Reinforced Plastic Columns with Concrete Core
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the behavior of reinforced plastic columns with tubular (hollow) sections. The columns were pultruded and had a cross-section which...
Behavior of Externally Confined Concrete Columns
This paper investigates the feasibility of strengthening of seismically deficient concrete columns with high-strength fiber composite straps. The concrete columns will be externally confined...
The Crown and the Curtain Wall
Crowning the complex curtainwall of an 870 ft concrete tower with a 150 ft high crown of aluminum masts in concentric rings above the 60th floor required ingenuity and extraordinary cooperation...
Seismic Hazards in the Eastern U.S. and the Impact on Transportation Lifelines
In the eastern US seismicity is low, hazard is moderate, and risk is quite high, especially in metropolitan regions with vulnerable transportation systems typically not designed to resist...
