Utilization of Phosphogypsum-Based Slag Aggregate in Portland Cement and Asphaltic Concrete Mixtures
This study centers around the potential utilization of phosphogypsum-based slag aggregate as a substitute for coarse aggregate in both portland cement and asphaltic concrete surfaces for...

Recycling Portland Cement Concrete Pavement at the Contractor's Option
This paper summarizes three portland cement concrete airfield pavement recycling projects at the Outagamie County Airport in Appleton, Wisconsin. The specifications for the projects did...

Nighttime Cement Concrete Pavement Replacement Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
Several airfield improvement projects are currently underway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac), many of which are being constructed using cement concrete pavement. Due...

Hydraulic Properties of Surface Runoff on Ash-Mixed Concrete Pavement
The disposal of incinerated sludge ash from wastewater treatment plants is becoming an increasingly difficult problem in highly populated cities. The feasibility of reusing sludge ash...

Concrete Watertight Structures and Hazardous Liquid Containment
The purpose of Concrete Watertight Structures and Hazardous Liquid Containment is to provide a practical guide for practicing engineers who...

Rehabbing Bridges Under Traffic
Four urban examples demonstrate how an owner's decision to keep it open during rehabilitation construction forces the designers to contend with an extra set of problems. Reanchoring...

Roller Compacted Concrete IV
This engineering manual Roller-Compacted Concrete from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provides information and guidance on the use of roller-compacted...

Modular Evolution
The construction industry typically thinks of modular steel bridges in terms of the World War II vintage Bailey Bridge. The Bailey Bridge was designed to be quickly deployed to replace...

Lightweight Concrete for a Segmental Bridge
Structural lightweight concrete can help increase the stiffness and decrease the mass of a bridge; both are qualities that make the structure more likely to survive an earthquake. Ordinarily,...

An Object-Oriented Approach for Reinforced Concrete Design
The use of the object-oriented programming approach in developing applications for the analysis and design of reinforced concrete members is discussed. Two object oriented programming...

Selecting Precast Concrete Building Systems
The development of an integrated computer system to assist in the selection of precast concrete (PC) building systems is described. StructNet, a neural network program, identifies possible...

Evaluation of Software for Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures
A study to verify the accuracy of two structural analysis and concrete design programs and to evaluate their functionality was conducted. The evaluation was based on a comparison of results...

Discrete Modeling of Soil-Structure Interaction Under Dynamic Loading
A proposal of discrete modeling useful to describe behavior of structures burried in the ground under air explosion is presented. In the modeling emphasis is laid on determining the space...

The Development of an Expert System Used in Preliminary Design of Concrete Bridges
The importance of the selection of the best design on the one hand and the available knowledge, on the other during the preliminary design process asks after a different kind of software...

Time-related Deflections of Cantilever Bridges
Many prestressed concrete bridges with spans between 100 and 160 m have been built in the Netherlands. The method of construction is the so-called in situ free cantilever construction....

Characteristics of the US Highway Bridge Population
Characteristics of US highway bridges are summarized, and conditions of national, regional, and state bridges are analyzed with respect to structural deficiency. The overall patterns in...

Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Building Using Finite-element Techniques
The response of a reinforced concrete building subjected to earthquake loading has been obtained on a personal computer using the finite-element code STARDYNE. For preliminary design,...

Developing an Object Based Planning System for Precast Concrete Building Structures
This paper presents the organization of an object based planning system for determining the preliminary costs, schedules and resources for precast concrete building structures. First,...

Macroelement Model for Shear Wall Analysis
An efficient modeling scheme for static and dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete shear walls in the inelastic range is presented. The macroelement model of the shear wall is composed...

The BS8110 CAL Program for Teaching RC Design
This paper describes the main features of RC-CAL, a computer-aided-learning courseware for reinforced concrete design to BS8110, the British Code of Practice. Results of an evaluation...
