Development of a predictive model for pavement roughness on expansive clay
(1994)
Expansive clays are the major cause of differential movements in shallow foundations. In highway pavements they are responsible for cyclic distortion of the riding surface resulting in a loss of road handling ability and ...
An evaluation of inductance loop detectors for speed measurement accuracy
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Reducing congestion in our nation's urban areas has become a top priority of state departments of transportation nationwide. The development and construction of freeway management systems have recently begun to help reduce ...
A beam-column method for tieback walls
(1994)
A beam-column method for tieback walls or anchored walls was developed and tested. An instrumented full scale tieback wall in sand was constructed at the National Geotechnical Experimentation Site located on the Texas A&M ...
LATWAK : an impact test to obtain the lateral static stiffness of piles
(1994)
This study presents the development and application of a new method to predict the lateral static stiffness of piles. This new method is called LATWAK; it consists of a package including the LATWAK Test, the theory behind ...
A study of selected warning devices for reducing truck speeds
(1994)
Providing effective roadside warning devices for drivers of large trucks is critical on freeway connectors where speeds are relatively high but design speeds may be substantially less than on mainlanes. Identifying and ...
Hydrate melting and related foundation problems
(1994)
In this research, the potential hazard to offshore foundations induced by gas hydrate melting has been investigated. An analytical solution was derived for the heat transfer phenomenon in marine soils rich in gas hydrates. ...
Application of pullout test fracture strength and theory toward a quality management system for controlling concrete pavement cracks
(1994)
For fracture mechanics theory to be applied toward the design and construction of concrete pavements and structures, in-place testing technology is needed to provide fracture mechanics properties. Two instrumented pullout ...
