Current technologies in Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems enable pipeline leak detection to be carried out in real time by software-based methods. This paper discusses...
Database for Pipeline Bridges in North America
Work began in 1985 at Wayne State University on a research study of pipeline suspension bridges. This effort, which was funded by ANR Pipeline Company of Detroit, Michigan, investigated...
Microtunneling of Vitrified Clay Pipe in the United States
Vitrified clay pipe (VCP) has been used for centuries to convey waste water away for cities. In Europe and Japan, VCP has been used in the microtunnelling process for longer than 10 years....
Field Testing of Advanced Maintenance Data Acquisition Technologies in Three State DOTs
Field testing and evaluation of advanced data acquisition technology in Maryland, Connecticut and Arizona showed the potential for state highway agencies to improve existing procedures...
Level of Service in Bridge Management Systems
The Federal Highway Administration's Sufficiency Rating is not adequate for evaluating bridges. It ignores fundamental bridge characteristics and is far too subjective. The Level of Service...
Potential of Vegetable Oil as a Transportation Fuel
The esters of vegetable oils (Biodiesel) have potential as direct replacements for diesel fuel in compression ignition engines. This paper discusses fuel properties, short and long term...
Steps to a Mix Design Solution for Better Asphalt
Three primary products will be delivered at completion of the Asphalt Research Program of the Strategic Highway Research Program, a performance based asphalt binder specification, a performance...
Gyratory Testing Machine Usage in Monitoring HMA Quality
This paper describes research conducted by the Mississippi Department of Transportation to investigate the potential of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Gyratory Testing Machine (GTM)...
Validation of SHRP Performance Graded Binder Specifications Using Field Simulation Testing Equipment
The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) was initiated to improve the effectiveness of laboratory test methods in predicting field performance. European highway agencies are using...
Anti-Icing...The Liquid Answer
In the fall of 1984, Great Salt Lake Minerals and Chemicals Corporation of Ogden, Utah (a major producer of Salt and Allied Chemicals) introduced their 'Alternative Deicers' to Washington...
Using SHRP Tests to Evaluate CRM Asphalt Pavements
During the recently completed Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), there was insufficient time or funds to evaluate the inclusion of waste materials in asphalt paving mixtures. However,...
SHRP Deformation Test?Asphalt Mix Tests and Analysis Systems
From analyses of existing information on the permanent-deformation characteristics of asphalt/binder-aggregate mixes, as well as the development of permanent deformation in pavement structures,...
A Geotechnical/Earthquake Engineering Information System?Expanding the GIS Conceptual Framework
Data in a typical geotechnical and earthquake engineering study, encompass a variety of sources of information from site investigations, field instrumentation, dynamic computer simulations,...
Accuracy Requirements for GIS-Based Seismic Risk Assessments
Accurate assessments of potential earthquake damage and casualty risk are essential to the design of seismic hazard mitigation policies and seismically oriented engineering practice. More...
Considerations in Integrating Geographic Information System Technology in Earthquake Hazard Analyses
Seismic hazard and risk analysis can play a major role in identifying the potential consequences of an earthquake. Recent advances in computer based Geographic Information systems provide...
GIS for Regional Seismic Hazard and Risk Analyses
Earthquake occurrences cannot be accurately predicted or prevented, but their damaging effects can be analyzed and possibly reduced by utilizing the available geologic and geographic information....
