Application of Interactive Videodisc for Work Zone Traffic Control Training
This paper describes the development of the Interactive Videodisc Training (IVT) system and a training course on work zone traffic control. The IVT system uses a microcomputer-controlled...
MECHOD: A Mechanistic Overlay Design Program for Flexible Pavements
This paper presents a fully mechanistic asphalt overlay design procedure for use on microcomputers. The procedure is based on fundamental characteristics of pavement layer properties and...
Lapsize Computers and Local Pavement Management
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a portable computer, the GRIDcase Plus, in local pavement management. A software program in BASIC is developed to run on the GRID, to...
Road Surface Management System for Small to Midsized Communities
This paper describes a Road Surface Management Systems (RSMS) developed by the New Hampshire Technology Transfer Center. Subjects covered include RSMS components, road inventories, repair...
Curing Time for CRCP Mixtures Based on Flexural Strength
In this paper, the effect of different curing conditions on the flexural strength is investigated, and also the minimum required period for moist curing is found. The combined effect of...
Effect of Environment on Durability of Pavement Materials: An Overview
The best known causes of material degradation in pavements include environment, traffic loads, and the use of substandard materials. Presented in the paper is a critical review of the...
Lime-Fly Ash-Aggregate Base and Subbase Courses
This paper describes the use of lime-fly ash-aggregate (LFA) base and subbase courses for highway pavements. This type pavement course is considered as an alternate to cement treated bases...
Development of Skewed Element for the Concrete Pavements
In the recent years, highway engineers introduced skewed joints in the concrete pavement with a 4 foot to 5 foot skew on a 24 foot width pavement, which results in only one wheel crossing...
Safety in the Industrial Robot Environment
Safety requirements differ for applications with or without a human interface. The extent of human interface with the robot must be determined. Design of the robot, guarding, access, and...
Two Dimensional Nonequilibrium Transport of Nonuniform Sediment
Mathematical models based on diffusion and/or diffusion convection equations have been widely applied to study sediment transport in suspension. Some of the studies were reported by C.C....
Tapping A Glacier
The Eklutna water project receives a 1988 Outstanding Civil Engineering Award of merit. The project�a 30 mile pipeline and treatment plant that brings glacial runoff from Eklutna lake...
Simulation of Precipitation by Weather-Type Analysis
A new approach that uses weather-type analysis as a basis for stochastic precipitation modeling was developed and tested for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The weather types permit the identification...
The Tides Effects on the Dam Break Flood Wave
The accuracy of water level predictions downstream of the dam is dependent upon the breach evaluation, the correct estimation of the roughness coefficients and when the flood wave reaches...
Design Considerations for Trucks in Work Zones
In an Eastern state a 3. 8 mi (6. 2 km) work zone had 14 accidents during a project duration of 120 days. Eleven of the 14 accidents occurred at temporary crossovers where traffic was...
Accommodation of Trucks on the Highway
Safety in Design
This book contains the papers presented at the symposium on accommodation of trucks on highways held in Nashville, Tenn., May 11, 1988. The papers address highway factors that contribute...
Implementing a State PMS
Arizona State Pavement Management System (PMS) is described in this paper. Experience shows that many factors must be considered in deciding how to maintain a particular mile of the road...
Concrete Overlays Challenge Asphalt
When a pavement needs more than minor repair but not total replacement, bonded and unbonded concrete overlays and inlays are options to consider. The article describes four projects where...
Costs of Truck Related Highway Damage to Alaska
The cost of pavement damage to the State of Alaska for truck traffic continues to be a very controversial topic. There is no simple answer since this cost is dependent upon pavement strength,...
