Development of a failure prediction method for grout filled damaged tubular members
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
This paper presents the results of research regarding the existing failure prediction method and the development of an improved failure prediction method for grout filled damaged tubulars. The types of damaged addressed ...
Influence of coarse aggregate size, shape and surface texture on rutting of hot mix asphalt concrete
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
The objectives of this study were to: 1 ) Evaluate the influence of coarse aggregate shape and surface texture on deformation characteristics of asphalt concrete, 2) Characterize aggregate elongation, shape and texture ...
Effective forces in saturated clays
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
This paper is the culmination of a five-phase research effort investigating overpressured soil and rock formations. These formations, found all over the world, at varying depths, contain pore water confined at pressures ...
The effects of aggregate gradation on moisture diffusivity in a cementious based material
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
The effects of aggregate gradation on moisture diffusivity in concrete are investigated. The method involves a factorial design that considers two types of gradation (Gap Gradation and Optimum Gradation), aggregate type ...
A mesoscopic view of speed, flow, density, and distance relationships
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Traffic engineers have studied speed-flow-density relationships for close to 60 years. However, the debate over the exact relationships for these traffic stream characteristics continues. Although a variety of models ...
Ultrasonic measurement of porous medium in an aqueous environment
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The use of a medical ultrasonic scanning device was studied as a measuring tool for determining the physical characteristics of soft porous media in an turbid aqueous environment. Three different sponge types were used as ...

Effective placement of detectors at diamond interchanges
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Most signalized interchanges in Texas are tight urban diamond interchanges of freeways having one-way frontage roads. At these interchanges, traffic actuated control with improper location of detectors may result in ...
Construction work process management
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
(TQM) has received considerable attention in the construction industry. A major tenet of TQM is process improvement. In this study, the work process (or process) concept is used as a means to investigate the effect of TQM ...
Motorist interpretation of potential transition symbols in a freeway lane control signal array
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis documents licensed driver response to, interpretation of, and perceived urgency of response to freeway lane control signals (more s . pacifically to the yellow X and yellow diagonal arrow) when displayed in a ...
