Using SHRP Tests to Evaluate CRM Asphalt Pavements
During the recently completed Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), there was insufficient time or funds to evaluate the inclusion of waste materials in asphalt paving mixtures. However,...

Bridge Condition Assessment

Electrochemical Treatment and Protection: Lessons Learned
Corrosion is recognized today as one of the major contributors to the deterioration of steel reinforced concrete structures. Two electrochemical techniques, chloride removal and cathodic...

Concrete Bridge Protection Repair & Rehabilitation
A methodology for the selection of cost effective solution(s) to the protection, repair, and rehabilitation of concrete bridges in chloride-laden environments is presented. The methodology...

Selecting Bridge Protection and Rehabilitation Options
This paper describes a recently developed procedure for use by bridge engineers making protection or rehabilitation decisions for concrete bridges. The methodology determines the most...

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,...

Managing Alkali-Silicareactivity

Durability of High Performance Concrete
The freeze-thaw durability and the resistance to chloride penetration of high performance concrete (HPC) developed for highway applications were investigated. This paper summarizes the...

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...

Comparison of Multi-sensing Methods for the Detection of Cracks in Pavement Surfaces

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...

Application Cases of Slurry Seal in Japan
In Japan, slurry seal began to be used for repairing asphalt pavements at around 1963, mostly for repairs of prefectural and municipal roads. In recent years, however, it has rarely been...

Condition Data Reduction for Pavement Management
A methodology is proposed for the identification of uniformly behaving deterioration regions of infrastructure facilities. Such `homogeneous' regions constitute the basic units that should...

Using Neural Network to Identify Pavement Structure Based on Radar Output
Knowledge of asphaltic layer thickness and structure are important in many areas of pavement management. Accurate thickness and structure measurements are needed throughout the roadway...

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...

Presentation Summary: An Electric Vehicle Future for California

Pierce Transit's Experience with an Alternate Fuel Compressed Natural Gas January-December 1992
At the end of 1992, Pierce Transit's CNG fleet consisted of 30, 40-foot Orion buses, 19 ElDorado Buses, on GMC 'New Look' bus, one 1990 Chevy Celebrity, and one Collins Shuttle van. As...
