Development of a Non-solvent Based Test Method for Evaluating Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Mixes 

Carter, Alan (2005-08-15)
The objectives of this research are twofold. The first is to develop and validate an indirect tension stress relaxation test methodology for assessing asphalt binder properties using compacted hot mix asphalt (HMA) samples. ...

The Effectiveness of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) for Drilled Shaft Construction 

Dachelet, Darren (2008-08-15)
Due to increasing design requirements and the advancement in technology, deep foundations have become larger and more congested over the years. Reinforcement congestion required to resist high lateral forces, has lead to ...

Evaluation of Load Tests for Driven Piles for the Alabama Department of Transportation 

Hill, Jacob (2007-05-15)
A study was carried out to evaluate load testing methods for driven piles for the Alabama Department of Transportation. Dynamic and static load test data were assembled to form the database used in this study. The field ...

Evaluation of Soil Effects on Soil Erosion on Off-Road Vehicle Trails using WEPP 

Melton, Jonathan (2008-05-15)
Erosion and sediment loss from the use of off-road vehicles (ORV) is an escalating problem on national forest lands. The increasing number of ORV riders coupled with decreasing riding areas has caused the United States ...

An Evaluation of the Use of Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) for Drilled Shaft Applications 

Bailey, Joseph (2005-08-15)
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 

Brodbeck, Christian (2005-08-15)
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 ...

Water Stabilization Using Microparticles 

Shiver, Bryan (2007-08-15)
Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which saturated, loose, cohesionless soil loses its strength due to earthquake shaking or some other loading. A major occurrence of liquefaction was observed by engineers in 1964 during ...
