An Evaluation Of The Strategic Highway Research Project Packing Handbook, Kenneth P. Cox, Charles F. Scholer, Menashi D. Cohen Jan 1994

An Evaluation Of The Strategic Highway Research Project Packing Handbook, Kenneth P. Cox, Charles F. Scholer, Menashi D. Cohen

JTRP Technical Reports

The objective of this research is to evaluate the use of the November 8, 1991 SHRP C-206 report entitled, “Packing Handbook – A Guide to the Optimal Gradation of Concrete Aggregates”. The purpose of the Packing Handbook is to determine the optimal combination of fine and coarse aggregates for concrete from available aggregate sources. Through the use of tables provided in the Packing Handbook, and given sources with known aggregate gradations and void contents, the relative proportion of each aggregate (coarse and fine) is obtained. Concretes made using the Packing Handbook recommendations of aggregate proportioning were compared to concretes used …


Guidelines For Permitting Overloads; Part 1: Effect Of Overloaded Vehicles On The Indiana Highway Network, Sameh Mohamed Zaghloul, Thomas D. White Jan 1994

Guidelines For Permitting Overloads; Part 1: Effect Of Overloaded Vehicles On The Indiana Highway Network, Sameh Mohamed Zaghloul, Thomas D. White

JTRP Technical Reports

Closed form analysis is commonly used to analyze pavement structures. This type of analysis assumes linear elastic material properties and static loading conditions. In reality, pavement materials are not linear elastic materials. For example, asphalt mixtures are viscoelastic materials and cohesive soils are elastic-plastic materials. Also truck loads are moving loads. The difference between the closed form analysis assumptions and the actual pavement conditions leads to significant differences between measured and predicted pavement response. A study has been conducted at Purdue University to develop a procedure for permitting overloaded trucks in Indiana. This study was funded by the Indiana Department …

Multimedia Application Synthesis Study, Bob G. Mccullouch

JTRP Technical Reports

Multimedia with its ability to involve various human faculties through the use of various media forms, provides a robust environment in which to learn in. Retention improves significantly when media exercises these various human faculties. Studies indicate that students complete training in one-third the time of the traditional instruction method while reaching up to 50 percent higher competency levels. Utilizing this technology can provide improved training tools and learning environments for the Department. Because of the many potential applications, technical and nontechnical, that may exist within the Department for utilizing this technology; a study was performed to answer questions about …


Pavement Drainage And Pavement Shoulder Joint Evaluation Numerical Analysis Of Infiltration And Drainage In Pavement Systems, Reynaldo David. Espinoza, Philippe L. Bourdeau, Thomas D. White Dec 1993

Pavement Drainage And Pavement Shoulder Joint Evaluation Numerical Analysis Of Infiltration And Drainage In Pavement Systems, Reynaldo David. Espinoza, Philippe L. Bourdeau, Thomas D. White

JTRP Technical Reports

The continuing loss of pavement performance observed in the U.S. transportation infrastructure system raises the issue of the subdrainage design. Experience with the Indiana highways indicates that the lack of adequa the sub-drainage is probably a major cause of pavement distress. In order to provide highway engineers with a methodology to analyze the water migration and drainage into pavement systems a new numerical model has been developed. The numerical scheme is a finite difference formulation of the equations of water flow in unsaturated porous media. The resulting system of equations used is nonlinear and state-of-the-art numerical techniques have been used …


Detection Of Harmonic Loads On A Power System Under Practical Conditions Of Non-Sinusoidal Voltages And Variable Frequency, Naveen Jaluria Dec 1993

Detection Of Harmonic Loads On A Power System Under Practical Conditions Of Non-Sinusoidal Voltages And Variable Frequency, Naveen Jaluria

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The purpose of this work is to develop an on-line measurement technique, which could be used iteratively to detect the presence of harmonic loads on the power system. This has to be achieved in an environment of non-sinusoidal voltage waveforms and variable frequency as is the case in practice. This is achieved by looking at the relative phase relationship between the voltage and current at each harmonic frequency. From this information, the average harmonic power flowing in the load circuit can be found out. If the load is injecting average power back to the source at harmonic frequencies, then it …

Toward Virtual Digital Mammograms For Research And Training In Tumor Detection, Charles F. Babbs, Leslie A. Geddes Dec 1993

Toward Virtual Digital Mammograms For Research And Training In Tumor Detection, Charles F. Babbs, Leslie A. Geddes

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

Research in the processing, compression, transmission, and interpretation of digital radiographic images requires evaluation of a wide variety of test images, varying in format, in spatial resolution, and in anatomic content. To evaluate the diagnostic performance of observers using novel versus conventional image formats, large numbers of test images containing known abnormalities are required. This report describes a method for creating high resolution, virtual digital mammograms from computational models of the human breast that include branched lobulated ducts and suspensory ligaments embedded in fatty subcutaneous tissue. Breast phantoms may include any of three types of simulated tumors (fibroadenomas, invasive ductal …

Pre-Clinical Roc Studies Of Digital Stereomammography, Jean Hsu, Charles F. Babbs, David M. Chelberg, Zygmunt Pizlo, Edward J. Delp

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This paper reports the diagnostic performance of observers in detecting abnormalities in computer generated mammogram-like images. A mathematical model of the human breast is defined in which breast tissues are simulated by spheres of different sizes and densities. Images ar'e generated by casting rays from a specified source, through the: model, and onto an image plane. Observer performance with two viewing modalities (stereo versus mono) is compared. In the stereo viewing mode, left and right images are presented to the observer (wearing liquid crystal shuttle glasses), such that the left eye sees the left image only and the right eye …
