The Safe Disposal of Fly Ash in Pavement or Earth Structures Not Requiring High Strength Materials
Highway agencies throughout the country face the challenge of safe disposal of various waste products in pavements and earth structures. Some of these waste products can be hazardous to...
Crushed Hydrated Fly Ash as a Construction Aggregate
Hydrated fly ash (HFA) is being produced in Texas by first adding water to Class C fly ash and allowing it to hydrate in curing pits for several weeks. HFA typically attain unconfined...
Repeated Loading of Stabilized Recycled Aggregate Base Course
The fatigue behavior, resilient properties, and progressive accumulation of damage due to repeated flexural loads on a fiber-reinforced pavement base course material composed of cement-stabilized...
Do Coated Pipes Last Longer?
Field studies have revealed that polymer coated steel pipe resists corrosion longer than pipe coated with other materials. Corrosion is the most common failure mechanism of pipe culvert,...

After finding 120 million cubic meters of oil and 30 billion standard cubic meters of natural gas 175 kilometers off the Norwegian coast, Houston-based Conoco, Inc. was faced with a second...
Better Salt Storage
Facing tighter maintenance budgets and stringent environmental regulations, many highway departments are designing and building innovative structures to store road salt. One such structure...
Corrosion Control
As pipe systems with nonwelded joints have become more common, so have problems with corrosion. It's up to designers to carefully consider corrosion issues in order to avoid...
Hydraulic Fracturing Advances (Available Only in Geoenvironmental Special Issue)
Removing contaminants trapped in clays and nonpermeable soils can be difficult if not impossible with traditional extraction methods. A look at four hydraulic fracturing case studies shows...
