Large-Stone Mixes For Reducing Rutting, Kamyar C. Mahboub
Large-Stone Mixes For Reducing Rutting, Kamyar C. Mahboub
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Large-stone mixes are becoming a very popular means for reducing rutting in flexible pavements. Aggregate interlock in large-stone mixes provides for very efficient dissipation of compressive and shear stresses that are known to be responsible for rutting and shoving in flexible pavements. This report documents mix design procedures and laboratory testing for characterization of rutting potential of large-stone asphalt mixes (LSAM) in Kentucky and particularly the Louisa Bypass project.
A series of large-stone aggregate gradations were studied. A promising aggregate gradation was selected in cooperation with Kentucky Department of Highway officials and representatives of the asphalt industry. Based upon the …
Performance Report On Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe, N-12, L. John Fleckenstein, David L. Allen
Performance Report On Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe, N-12, L. John Fleckenstein, David L. Allen
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
This paper documents the installation and performance ofN-12 pipe installed during construction of South Forbes Road in Fayette County, KY 54 in Daviess County, US 62 in McCracken County, Nicholasville Road in Fayette County, and US 68/KY 80 in Warren County. The pipe is manufactured by Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc., and is designated as ADS N-12. ADS N-12 is a corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. The pipe has a corrugated exterior for increased strength and a smooth interior to provide maximum flow capacity.
The N-12 pipe requires less equipment and fewer personnel than steel or concrete pipe for installation. From …
Summary Of Results Of 1989 Field And Laboratory Evaluations Of Pavement Marking Materials, Kentucky Transportation Center
Summary Of Results Of 1989 Field And Laboratory Evaluations Of Pavement Marking Materials, Kentucky Transportation Center
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
This report summarizes the results of data collected as part of the field and laboratory evaluations of pavement marking materials for the SASHTO Regional Test Facility. The purpose of the Regional Test Facility (RTF) is to minimize the amount of field and laboratory research testing of specific types of materials. This is accomplished by combining efforts in an organized manner to reduce the monetary and man-hour requirements of both the states and industry. A RTF for the twelve SASHTO states was approved at the 1988 SASHTO convention. The twelve SASHTO states are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North …
Instrumentation Of The Twelvemile Bridge, Theodore Hopwood Ii, David Q. Hunsucker, Edgar E. Courtney
Instrumentation Of The Twelvemile Bridge, Theodore Hopwood Ii, David Q. Hunsucker, Edgar E. Courtney
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
An experimental precast, post-tensioned concrete segmental girder bridge over Twelvemile Creek in Campbell County was instrumented with stress and strain sensors. Those sensors were read during beam fabrication and the initial portion of construction. The work was performed to address Transportation Cabinet questions about structural performance and also to assess the effect of long-term creep. The study and bridge were not completed as originally designed due a beam failure during post-tensioning.
A variety of stress, strain, and deflection measuring techniques were to be employed during the study. Several of those including concrete stress and strain meters, and vibrating-wire strain gages …
