Reusing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) presents an opportunity to reduce environmental burdens and encourage sustainable development. However, a concern exists about blending RAP binder and virgin asphalt binder. While RAP mixtures assume complete blending between these binders, the actual extent of this blending remains uncertain. Lower blending percentages can reduce...
Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...
Tsunami inundation of coastal communities can impose a wide array of forces on the
built environment. Forces generated by tsunami-driven debris damming have the potential to
cause failure of coastal structures and further accumulate flow-entrained debris. Since tsunami-resilient design standards were adopted by ASCE in 2016, debris damming considerations have...
When pavement markings on roadways are removed, scarring can occur leaving behind traces of where the marking used to be called ghost lines. These ghost lines can confuse drivers on the roadway and divert their attention from the correct lane markings leading them into the false lane. Previous research has...
Carbonatable calcium silicate cement (CSC) is a promising approach to reduce the carbon footprint associated with concrete production. Carbonatable CSC gains strength by reacting with carbon dioxide (CO2). While the concept of carbonation is well known, more information on the curing process is needed. This study focuses on studying the...
This data contains the survey responses used to explore the safety and user perceptions of auxiliary bike lanes as posed in “SPR869 – Safety and User Perceptions of Auxiliary Bike Lanes.” Data includes two datasets corresponding to each survey by user perspective: drivers and cyclists. In each data set are...
The construction industry is increasingly adopting off-site and modular construction methods due to the advantages offered in terms of safety, quality, and productivity for construction projects. Despite the advantages promised by this method of construction, modular construction factories still rely on manually-intensive work, which can lead to highly variable cycle...
Modular construction methods have recently gained interest due to the advantages offered in terms of safety, quality, and productivity for projects. In this method, a significant portion of the construction is performed off-site in factories where modular components are built in different workstations, assembled on the production line, and shipped...
Advanced geomatics tools such as robotic and terrestrial laser scanners have the potential to significantly improve the progress monitoring of construction sites throughout their life cycle, particularly in the concrete structures, from the initial stage to cracking the ground for excavation and shoring to outdoor pouring of concrete at above...
Geospatial data analysis is a multifaceted discipline encompassing the collection, processing, and visualization of diverse datasets. It models and delineates the interactions of people, objects, and phenomena within geographical spaces and predicts patterns based on the relationships between different locations. Despite significant advancements in geospatial data engineering and analytics over...
