The development and evaluation of alternative designs for the Texas Farm-To-Market route marker
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis documents the development and evaluation of alternative designs for the Texas Fann-to-Market (FM) Highway route marker. Previous research by the Texas Transportation Institute has shown that some portion of the ...
Overburden effects on waste compaction and leachate generation in municipal landfills
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis presents a model to predict the effects of overburden pressure on the formation of leachate within municipal solid waste landfills. In addition, it estimates the compaction and subsequent settlement that the ...
Laboratory development of fourth generation sulphlex binders
(Texas A&M University, 1994)

Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated aqueous and sediment environments
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Six bioremediation methods were tested in laboratory microcosms using field soil and water samples from within the fire-wall area of a petroleum storage tank. This soil had been intermittently contaminated with Bunker C ...
Laboratory evaluation of crumb rubber asphalt concrete mixtures using the concepts of SMA mixtures
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Eight CRM asphalt concrete mixtures were evaluated using AAMAS characterization procedures: Four wet-process mixtures and four dry-process mixtures. These mixtures were compared to a conventional dense graded mixture. It ...
Driver mental workload requirements on horizontal curves based on occluded vision test measurements
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis documents an evaluation of driver mental workload requirements on horizontal curves based on occluded vision test measurements. Driver workload is an important concept in the design of highway systems. A ...
Physicochemical phenomena of electro-kinetic extraction of inorganic contaminants from kaolinite
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Experiments investigating the use of electro-kinetics for removal of inorganic chemicals from kaolinite clay were performed. Kaolinite was homogeneously saturated with a NaCl solution and consolidated to the desired void ...
Ductility of lightly reinforced concrete hydraulic structures
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In the past, intake towers built by the Corp of Engineers were designed without consideration of seismic effects. This study investigates an economic approach to determining the ductility of an existing lightly reinforced ...
Implications of reliability in mechanistic/empirical pavement design applications
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
At present there are many design procedures for both asphalt and concrete pavement structures. The object of any one of these design procedures being to produce a quality riding structure that will satisfy the design ...
Overload permit rules applicable to H-type and HS-type bridges
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This document defines standards for issuing permits for overweight vehicles crossing standard H-type and HS-type Texas highway bridges. A general formula and a bridge specific formula have been developed for simple spans ...
