Performance of Airport PCC Pavements During Spring Thaw Periods
The portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements at two Wisconsin airports, Central Wisconsin Airport in Mosinee, and Outagamie County Airport in Appleton, were monitored during spring thaw...
Prediction of Airfield Pavement Responses Using Transfer Functions
A methodology is presented which will aid in the evaluation and maintenance of airfield pavements. Predictions of an airfield pavement's behavior to multiple types and magnitudes...
An Airfield Pavement Consultant System (AIRPACS) for Rehabilitation of Concrete Pavements
Airfield pavement knowledge captured by this research showed that knowledge-based techniques can be used to quickly select and design rehabilitation alternatives for a runway, taxiway...
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....
ACN-PCN Concepts for Airport Pavement Management
The aircraft classification number-pavement classification number (ACN-PCN) method is the standardized International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) method for reporting airport pavement...

Response Surface Fitting in Offshore Structural Design
Failure probability estimation of complex offshore structures requires the modeling of the system behavior in terms of all uncertain parameters. This paper investigates the applicability...
Near-Field Differential Ground Displacement
An analytical model for the development of differential ground motions in the vicinity of a vertical, strike-slip fault is presented. The model considers a uniform, kinematic source model,...
Identification of Seismic Waves for a Nonstationary Load Model from Strong Motion Records
Strong motion records of 5 moderate to strong earthquakes with different source mechanisms are investigated by Evolutionary Spectra Analysis. Only earthquakes with strong motion stations...
A Geophysical Model for Earthquake Hazard Estimation
A method for site hazard estimation from subduction earthquake is developed by combining a time-dependent earthquake occurrence model and a ground motion model into a unified hazard model....
Probabilistic and Reliability Analysis of Asphalt Concrete Airfield Pavements
A procedure was developed to analyze layered elastic asphaltic concrete airfield pavement systems in terms of probability and reliability. Rosenblueth method is used to estimate the expected...
On the Dynamic Response of Bridges by Oscillating Vehicles on Rough Surfaces
The spectral theory is applied to the response of bridges under a Poissonian stream of vehicles moving with constant speed over the bridge. The vehicles are modeled as oscillators with...
Approximate Reliability Analysis of Highway Bridges Under the Action of Random Vehicles?In Relation to an Interchange Bridge of China
In relation to an interchange curved bridge of China, a simple method by FSE for analysis of stochastic vibration has been proposed. The random vibration characteristics of bridge structures...
Study of Fractal Aperture Distribution and Flow in Fractures
This study examines the roughness profiles and aperture distributions of fractures and faults by using concepts from fractal geometry. Simple models of flow of fluid in rough fractures...
National Aero-Space Plane Pioneering New Frontiers
Paper reviews the current status, technology and potential future space launch applications of the joint DOD/NASA National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) program. Key program goals include first...
A Water Pricing Model for Lake Texana
Faced with water sales and recreation revenues insufficient to service the project debt, the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority (L-NRA), operators of Lake Texana, decided upon a novel approach...
The Development of Lake Granbury SWATS Regional Electrodialysis Reversal Demineralizer Treatment Plant
