Image Enhancement: Application to Geotomography
Image enhancement complements geotomographic reconstruction in the rendering of better images. In this paper, available image enhancement techniques are reviewed. Emphasis is given to...

Displacements in the Soil Near a Tunnel Face Using Centrifuge Tests and Image Processing
Image processing is applied to measurements of the soil for a tunnel model in centrifuge. For this aim a specifical device has been developed on the LCPC centrifuge (Nantes, France) and...

Image Analysis Applied to Geotechnical Engineering
Application of scanning electron microscope and image analyzer to the quantification of grain morphology and microfabric of aged sands is briefly reviewed. Relationships of morphology...

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...

A Novel Approach to Develop a Performance Based Test for Rutting of Asphalt Concrete
Asphalt concrete consists of compacted granular aggregates mixed with viscoelastic asphalt cement. The predictive phenomenological models had limited success in explaining the origin and...

Durability of Asphalt Mixture
Five asphalts were used in a laboratory testing program to establish a relationship between mixture properties and the binder properties. These five asphalts were used to make Florida...

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...

Heavy Aircraft Damage to Rigid Airport Pavements
A theoretical solution is presented for the damage caused by heavy aircraft at the transverse joints in a rigid airport pavement. Large stresses in the subgrade generate significant permanent...

Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete in Japan and US: Introduction and Overview
The finite element method of analysis now provides the engineer with the capability to analyze very complex structural systems in a much more realistic manner including geometry and support...

Time-Dependent Behavior
This paper is a report of the material presented at the International Workshop on Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete, Session 4 - Time Dependent Behavior, held at Columbia...

Lime Sludge Amended Fly Ash for Utilization as an Engineering Material
