Resin Modified Pavement in Airfield Applications
The resin modified pavement (RMP) is a composite paving material that combines the flexible characteristics of an asphalt concrete (AC) material with the durability of a portland cement...
Ft. Campbell Airfield Emergency Reconstruction
The air deployment from Fort Campbell, Kentucky to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Desert Storm in the summer and fall of 1990 involved several hundred C5 and C141 aircraft loaded...
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...
Evaluation of Elastic Layered Theory for Airfield Pavements, Using Nondestructive Testing and In-Place Response Measurements
Airfield pavement deflections measured under actual aircraft loads were compared to predictions based upon elastic layer theory and moduli backcalculated from failing weight deflectometer...
Measurement and Analysis of Airside Pavement Roughness at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
In May 1990, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport management contracted with Harding Lawson Associates to implement a pavement management system for that airport. In this implementation,...
Honolulu International Airport (HIA) APM
The Hawaii Department of Transportation, in planning to meet passenger demands over the next 20 years, is providing for expanded terminal buildings. The expanse of the airport requires...
In Search of Better Load Ratings
Typically, engineers must make a number of subjective assumptions regarding loading and response behavior when they develop a load rating for civil structures. As a result, many unknowns...
All Dressed Up
Its location at 660 Madison Avenue will put the new home of clothier Barneys New York in the heart of Manhattan's exclusive midtown shopping district, but the $120 million...
Fracture Mechanics
This brief report, prepared by ACl 447 Subcommittee 2, reviews recent advances in finite element modeling of fracture and damage in concrete structures. The fundamentals of the fracture...
Dynamic Loading
This chapter deals with those problems of finite element analysis of concrete structures, which arise from the dynamic nature of loadings. Following a short enumeration of the dynamic...
Computational Aspects
In the past, two distinctly different approaches - smeared and discrete failure models have been adopted to describe failure mechanisms in plain and reinforced concrete structures. Although...
Finite-Element Analysis as a Design Tool
This chapter covers the role of finite-element analysis in professional structural design. Past and present usage is covered lightly, with practice in a reputed design office as example....
LRFD for Timber Structures
The use of load and resistance design (LRFD) methodologies is increasingly becoming the standard analysis procedure for engineering design. The concrete industry has used a variation of...
Structural Fire Resistance Design of Wood Beams and Columns: A Comparison of European and North American Practices
North American and Eurocode design methods for fire-resistive exposed wood members provide a very good example of the translation of research into practical engineering design procedures....
Lateral Loading Curves from Pressuremeter Tests
The large drilled shafts for the proposed Klamath Falls Bridge, which are to be founded in diatomaceous silts, were to be designed to withstand earthquake induced large cyclic loading....
Evaluation of Dilatometer Method to Determine Axial Capacity of Driven Model Pipe Piles in Clay
The flat Dilatometer (DMT) provides a unique approach to estimate the effective stress axial capacity of driven displacement piles in clay. An investigation using this approach was performed...
Drilled Shaft Friction Evaluation via Pullout Tests
The history, development, and field test results of a small-scale 'pullout' test to assess the skin friction (fsu) for drilled shafts socketed in...
Verification of Deep Foundations by NDT Methods
Deep foundations are designed using static analysis techniques and the soil strength and structural integrity are then confirmed by static load tests. However, static tests are time consuming...
Piles for Marquette University Math Building
This paper presents a comparison of static pile capacity predictions using CPT cone resistance results with results of a test pile program and production pile driving. Pile capacity prediction...
3-D Deformation Analysis of Pile Groups During Wave Loading
Deformation predictions of pile group supporting one leg of Magnus platform were conducted using the 3-D nonlinear computer program SPLICE (Structure/Pile/Soil Interaction Analysis) and...
