Validation of the new mixture design and testing protocol for lime stabilization
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) has used hydrated lime for over 30 years to stabilize subgrades. In 1998 a project was initiated to assess material properties and performance derived from lime treated ...
Validation and development of guidelines to select MRR strategies for rigid pavements
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction (MRR) work to rigid pavement roadways requires a great demand of time, effort, and money. The nature of this work not only affects state highway agencies (SHAs) but also, ...
Documentation of key factors for successful reconstruction of high volume roadways: two case study projects in Michigan
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The highway system is reaching the end of its design life and requires rehabilitation due to excessive wear and age. Concrete pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction are two of the methods used to extend the service ...
Microbial dynamics during intrinsic remediation of oil contaminated coastal wetland sediments (a microcosm study)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Arabian medium crude oil was applied to historically exposed estuarine sediments contained in a controlled laboratory environment and intrinsically remediated for 56 days. In situ microbial and petroleum dynamics were ...
Effect of column-to-beam strength ratio on earthquake resistance of RC moment frames using probabilistic performance-based design methodologies
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study utilizes performance-based design methodologies to evaluate the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) moment frames under seismic loading, and is meant to serve as a precursor to the implementation of ...
Development of design guidelines for two-lane, two-way rural highways in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Passing lanes on two-lane, two-way rural highways have a significant effect on their operational performance. The operational performance of a two-lane, two-way rural highway is often measured with percent time delay. At ...
The effects of mixing energy on water column oil
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The rate at which an oil spill spreads will determine the extent of contamination and toxic effects that affect the environment. When spilled at sea, oil first forms a slick that is then broken into smaller oil droplets ...
Development of design criteria pertaining to signing, pavement markings, and geometric cross-section for improved two-lane section (Texas Super 2)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this research was to establish the optimum driver information strategy regarding Super 2 passing lane sections in Texas. A Driver Survey and a Before and After Study examining proposed skip stripe pavement ...
Development of statistical wet weather model to evaluate frictional properties at the pavement-tire interface on hot mix asphalt concrete
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Skid resistance on wet pavements is influenced by friction at the tire-pavement interface as well as overall hot mix asphalt (HMA) performance. It is important to control aggregate, asphalt, and mix properties to achieve ...
A comparison of fracture properties of selected geosynthetic products using pseudo strain damage theory
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Reflective cracking is one of the more serious distresses associated with existing hot mix asphalt (HMA) or portland concrete cement (PCC) pavements overlaid with a thin bituminous layer. This phenomenon is commonly defined ...
