Alternative Airfield Pavement Quality Control
In recent years, the cost of maintaining quality control during airfield construction projects has concerned airport operators and engineers alike. This paper addresses the possibilities...
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...
DFW Pavement Management System Implementation
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is implementing a comprehensive pavement management program to assist them in identifying and prioritizing maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction...

Analysis of Nonstationary Random Vibrations
Nonstationary random vibrations occur in structural mechanics as well as in vehicle dynamics. Very often the nonstationary excitation process can be modelled as stationary white or colored...
Dynamic Load Computation for Flexible Guideways Under Moving Vehicles Within a Multibody Approach
This paper addresses the problem of the dynamic interaction of vehicles with their supporting guideway. Because of topographical and environmental reasons, modern railways and magnetically...
Lifetime-Maximum Load Effect for Highway Bridges Based on Stochastic Combination of Typical Traffic Loadings
An efficient and accurate method is proposed for probabilistic assessment of lifetime maximum load effect on highway bridges caused by traffic load. Probability distribution of the lifetime...
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...
Bridge Live Load Models
This paper describes the analysis of weigh-in-motion data and the conclusions drawn. Statistical distributions of the effects induced in typical bridges due to single vehicle events are...
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...
A Reliability Analysis of Aerospace Structures Subject to Thermal Mechanical and Flight Loads
Aerospace structures are subjected to various flight loads throughout their service life. In certain anticipated missions, significant thermal stresses will be generated through atmospheric...
Unlocking Arena Gridlock
The Charlotte Coliseum features a $22 million reversible lane system, which provides easier access to and from 8,000 parking spaces. To improve access to the arena, a 3.6 mi road extension...
HELP is on The Way
Hill and Davies describe current progress on the development of a Heavy Vehicle Electronic License Plate (HELP) system in the United States. The HELP system concept combines automatic...
Pilot Bore Pays Off
The primary purpose of tunneling through Cumberland Mountain is to ease the 18,000 vehicle per day traffic through the rugged terrain that was a major transportation route when Daniel...
