Selection Of High Performance Repair Materials For Pavements And Bridge Decks, Alice E. Sommerville
Selection Of High Performance Repair Materials For Pavements And Bridge Decks, Alice E. Sommerville
ETD Archive
The Ohio Transportation has identified the need to specify durable, more permanent high performing pavement and bridge deck patching materials. These materials need to allow for expedited pavement and bridge deck wearing surface repair for worker and user safety. Currently, either temporary or generally specified in-kind or like materials are being used to perform pavement patching. Usually, the Department provides generically specified cementitious or cold mix asphalt materials for patching wearing surfaces with varied performance characteristics. Current products used for these repairs are generally those that have been used for many decades for which competition exists. However, new or proprietary …
A New Multidimensional Psycho-Physical Framework For Modeling Car-Following In A Freeway Work Zone, Taylor Lochrane
A New Multidimensional Psycho-Physical Framework For Modeling Car-Following In A Freeway Work Zone, Taylor Lochrane
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As the United States continues to build and repair the ageing highway infrastructure, the bearing of freeway work zones will continue to impact the capacity. To predict the capacity of a freeway work zone, there are several tools available for engineers to evaluate these work zones but only microsimulation has the ability to simulate the driver behavior. One of the limitations of current car-following models is that they only account for one overall behavioral condition. This dissertation hypothesizes that drivers change their driving behavior as they drive through a freeway work zone compared to normal freeway conditions which has the …
Use Of In-Situ Tests To Identify Soil Behavior Type And Liquefaction Susceptibility Of Sccp Soils, Rajshekhar Sarkar
Use Of In-Situ Tests To Identify Soil Behavior Type And Liquefaction Susceptibility Of Sccp Soils, Rajshekhar Sarkar
Theses and Dissertations
For many years, the Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT), Flat Plate Dilatometer Test (DMT) and Standard Penetration Test (SPT) have been used as in-situ tools to assess the liquefaction potential of soils. Given the importance of evaluating liquefaction potential in the South Carolina Coastal Plain (SCCP), research was conducted to study the soil behavior of soils prone to liquefaction, develop site specific correlations between SPT, DMT and CPT testing parameters and evaluate the liquefaction susceptibility of the soils in the SCCP. The SCCP sites studied in this thesis are Sampit (SAM), Gapway (GAP), Hollywood (HWD), Four Hole Swamp (FHS) and Fort …
