Overview of Permeable Bases
Drainable pavement systems consist of: permeable base, separator lyer, and edgegrain system. This paper focuses on permable bases. A permeable base must provide both permeability and stability....
Performance of Epoxy-Coated Steel in Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement
Two sections of interstate highway in central Oklahoma were recently reconstructed. On both projects, northbound lanes were reinforced with epoxy-coated steel and southbound lanes were...
Design and Construction of a Bonded Fiber Concrete Overlay of CRCP (Louisiana, Interstate Route 10, August 1990)
The purpose of this study was the design and construction of a bonded steel fiber reinforced concrete overlay on an existing 8-inch CRC pavement on Interstate 10 south of Baton Rouge,...
Forensic Analysis Techniques for Joint Sealants
Growing concerns involving the field performance of pavement joint sealant materials has illustrated the need for forensic capabilities in determining the cause of sealant failures. Methods...
Performance of Recycled Asphalt Concrete Materials in an Arid Climate
Recycling of asphalt concrete pavement is a common practice for highway agencies. In 1981, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) constructed eight test sections in on experimental...
Performance of Free Draining Base Course at Fort Campbell, Kentucky
In 1990 a free draining base course layer was constructed in the structural section of a pavement to be used as a military vehicle maintenance yard at Port Campbell, Kentucky. The Corps...
Physicochemical and Rheological Properties of Microwave Recyled Asphalt Binders
The purpose of this study was to analyze microwave recycled asphalt binders using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Dynamic Mechanical...
Reliability-Based Design for Feeeze-Thaw Concrete
Observation of pavements in Iowa shows results from the test for freezing and thawing of concrete, ASTM C-666, is not always consistent with field performance. Similar concrete made with...
Rehabilitation of Chloride Damaged Concrete
There are several methods of rehabilitating structural concrete that must deal with the presence of chlorides. It is critical that the rehabilitation designer recognize the abilities of...
Splice/Development Length Requirements for FRP Grids Used in the Structural Reinforcement of Concrete
The research presented in this paper program was directed towards determining development length and splice requirements for FRP grids used in the reinforcement of concrete structures....
Evaluation of Partial Depth Spall Repair Materials and Procedures
In 1990, as a part of a Strategic Highway Research Program project (SHRP H-106, Innovative Materials Development and Testing), an investigation was initiated to evaluate the performance...
Overlays on Deck
By the summer of 1993, a standard specification may be on the books for polymer concrete bridge-deck overlays�a high-tech rehab technique requiring a combination of plastic binder�such...
The Thermal Regime Surrounding a Longitudinal Edge Drain
Newton Airfield in Jackman, Maine, was constructed in 1986 to perform as a drained pavement system. The drainage design consisted of a permeable base course with a longitudinal edge drain...
A Mechanistic Approach to Pavement Design for Nome Airport
The analysis of performance and design of the pavement structure for the North-South runway at Nome Airport is based on the mechanistic approach. In the mechanistic approach, calculated...
Use of Rigid Insulation Below Grade for Roadways and Parking Areas
Minnesota Power's Herbert Service Center is located 3 miles north of downtown Duluth, Minnesota. The facility, constructed in 1967, consists of primary buildings, cold storage...
Future Technology for Disbonding Snow and Ice from Pavements
Current techniques to remove ice and compacted snow from pavement surfaces are costly because they needlessly crush or melt most of the ice layer. Also, in many cases they do not accomplish...
Treatment of Unstable Foundation Areas in Alaska's Pavement Management System
In the State of Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Pavement Management System (PMS) unstable foundation areas are defined as sections of roadway that experience...
Properties and Environmental Impact of Stabilized Fly Ash
This paper summarizes the results of two research studies aimed at evaluating the properties and possible environmental effects of bituminous and lignite coal based fly ashes stabilized...
Fly Ash in Roller Compacted Concrete Pavement
This paper presents the state of practice on the use of fly ash in roller compacted concrete (RCC) pavements. Placed using asphalt pavers and compacted using asphalt rollers, RCC pavement...
Superplasticized High-Volume Fly Ash Structural Concrete
This research was carried out to develop structural grade concrete containing high-volumes of ASTM Class C fly ash. A Portland cement concrete, proportioned to have 28-day compressive...
