Bridge Pile Bent P-Delta Curves in Transverse Direction Using FB-Pier and GTSTRUDL Pushover Analysis Procedures
(2008-09-09)
Extreme flood events may create large transverse water loads that cause piles of a bent to bend about their weak axes in addition to causing scour. A comparison of the nonlinear pushover analysis procedures and resulting ...
Evaluation of Self-Consolidating Concrete for Use in Prestressed Girder Applications
(2008-09-09)
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, yet cohesive, concrete that is able to fill formwork and completely encapsulate any reinforcement without the need for external vibration. The use of SCC may help ...
A Statistical Analysis of Georgia's HMA Quality Assurance Proccess
(2008-09-09)
In the recent years, there has been a push towards allowing contractors to use their own test results in the quality assurance process of Departments of Transportation (DOTs). While this movement saves the states money ...
Evaluation of the Maturity Method to Estimate Concrete Strength
(2008-09-09)
The strength of a newly constructed concrete structure or roadway is critically important to contractors and engineers who must decide when to safely allow construction loads, prestressing operations, or opening to traffic ...
Transfer Length in Prestessed Self-Consolidating Concrete
(2008-09-09)
Over the years much research into the transfer lengths of prestressed beams cast with conventional-slump concrete has been performed, but very little has been done in regard to beams cast with self-consolidating concrete ...
The Effects of Sulfide on Pulp and Paper Wastewater Color Reversion
(2008-09-09)
More and more concern is being given to the aesthetics of wastewater, specifically the color of the resulting effluent. The underlying causes of colored wastewater suggest incomplete pollutant removal and unsuccessful ...
Evaluation of Restraint Stresses and Cracking in Early-age Concrete with the Rigid Cracking Frame
(2008-09-09)
Early-age cracking problems are common in a wide variety of concrete structures, ranging from bridge decks and piers, to pavements used for highways and airport runways. Numerous surveys conducted by state and federal ...
Numerical Model Evaluations of Cumulative Contraction Scour at a Bridge Site with Cohesive Soils
(2008-09-09)
The objective of this study was to perform 2-Dimensional numerical contraction
scour calculations at an actual bridge site with cohesive soils. The 2-D model used in the
analysis was the Finite Element Surface Water ...
An Evaluation of the Use of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) for Drilled Shaft Applications
(2009-02-23)
In drilled shaft construction, the recent development of sophisticated techniques for integrity and load testing has lead to the ability to assess the quality of drilled shaft foundations in terms of integrity and load ...
Modeling Water Quality Impacts of Off-Road Vehicles in Forested Watersheds
(2008-09-09)
Erosion from off-road vehicles can cause negative effects on water quality by impairing fish habitat and shortening reservoir life. Due to an increasing level of off-road vehicle use throughout the country, this impact ...
