Desiccation Cracking Behavior of Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly Reinforced Cohesive Soils
(2020-04-17)
Desiccation cracking of cohesive soils is the development of cracks on the soil surface as a result of a reduction in soil water content. The decrease in soil surface area owing to the desiccation of cohesive soils has an ...
A Model for the Regional Variability of Riprap Prices in Alabama
(2020-05-05)
Riprap is widely used by departments of transportation (DOTs) for erosion control and slope stabilization activities. Even though DOTs seem to be satisfied with the ability of riprap to fulfill its intended purpose, its ...
Fragment Response of Unreinforced Concrete Masonry Walls Subjected to Blast Loading Conditions
(2020-04-21)
There are very few methods for predicting the fragment velocity and fragment production of an unreinforced, ungrouted concrete masonry wall. Those that do exist often require large computational resources or fail to predict ...
Developing and Assessing Long Distance Travel Accessibility Measures to Support Intercity Travel Analyses
(2020-05-15)
Long distance and intercity travel continues to grow in importance across the country in terms of its impacts on congestion, economies, and quality of life. Accessibility measures help us quantify access to or from a ...
Quantifying Pavement Preservation Performance Using Probabilistic Deterioration Modeling
(2020-07-14)
Throughout the last few decades, the pavement industry has slowly transitioned from construction and rehabilitation to pavement preservation. Pavement preservation can be described as a proactive approach for protecting ...
Developing a Practical Tool for Integrating Green Infrastructure into Cost-Effective Stormwater Management Plans
(2020-07-14)
Urban stormwater management today aims to manage both the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff. Best management practices (BMPs) such as detention basins have long been used to address runoff quantity objectives, and ...
Strength Assessment of Soil Cement Base in Alabama
(2020-07-30)
Soil cement is a mixture of soil, portland cement, and water that is compacted and cured to form a strong, durable pavement base. Variances among construction practices and core strength data have led to questions concerning ...
Comparative Analysis of Soil Erosion Using Large-, Intermediate-, and Small-Scale Test Plots of Bare Soil and Different Hydromulch Products under Large-Scale Rainfall Simulator
(2020-12-10)
A study was conducted to compare the test results of three different size erosion-control plots under rainfall simulation to determine if there is a direct relationship to the size of a tested erosion-control plot and the ...
Field Assessment of Cold Recycling Technologies Used for Pavement Preservation
(2020-07-14)
Cold recycling of asphalt concrete pavements is a widely practiced technique used to prolong pavement life as a low-cost preservation method. Research in recycled materials has become necessary to further evaluate the ...
Analysis of Manufactured Home Vulnerability in Extreme Winds
(2020-07-16)
Fatality rates are higher in mobile and manufactured homes (MMH) than in permanent site-built homes during tornadoes. The physical processes driving the enhanced fatality rates have not been fully explored, but must be ...
