How SHRP Reliably Predicts Pavement Performance
One of the important results of the SHRP Asphalt Research Program was to develop a comprehensive pavement performance model that reliably predicts rutting, fatigue cracking and thermal...
Seeing the Future: Changing Highway Engineering Practice Over the Next 10 Years
The computer age is here, and the more a highway engineer knows about computers, the better. This really symbolizes the direction highway engineers are headed - into a high-tech world...
Modified Graphite Reference Electrodes
The primary aim of this research was to investigate the feasibility of developing an improved, more reproducible, reversible, and highly voltage invariant graphite reference half cell...
Future Improvements for Design of Flexible Pavement Structures
The first set of data analyses on the National Pavement Data Base (NPDB) derived from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) activities have been completed. The results from sensitivity...
Design Implications for Concrete Pavements from LTPP Analyses
Among the original objectives of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) study of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) were the evaluation of existing design methods for pavements,...
An Evaluation of the Strategic Highway Research Project Packing Handbook
The objective of this paper is to present the use of the November 8, 1991 SHRP C-206 report entitled `Packing Handbook - A Guide to the Optimal Gradation of Concrete Aggregates'. The purpose...
Cathodic Protection for Protecting Prestressed Concrete
Due to the good effect of corrosion protection of reinforcing steel bars, even in concrete highly chloride contaminated, cathodic protection for concrete structure now carried out as a...
Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program in Japan
Japan's `Manual for Design and Construction of Asphalt Pavement' is based on technical results from the AASHO Road Test in 1960's. Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) is a much bigger...
Influence of Lateral Wind on Driving on Offshore Bridge
The Honshu-Shikoku Bridges are a system of highways crossing over the sea, where cross-winds variously affect vehicle behaviour. This is the intermediate report on the surveys aimed at...
Managing Maintenance from a Business Viewpoint
