Analysis of thermal fatigue distress of asphalt concrete pavements

Jackson, N. Mike (Nathaniel Michael) (1992-06-17)

Thermal cracking of asphalt concrete pavements is responsible for millions of dollars in annual maintenance and rehabilitation costs in the United States and Canada. Thermal cracking is typically associated with low te ...
Behavior of gypsum-sheathed cold-formed steel wall stud panels

Lee, Young-ki (1999-06-17)

This study consists of three parts: 1) Part A: Limiting Height Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, 2) Part B: Mid-Span Deflection Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, and 3) Part C: Nominal Axial Strength Evaluation f ...
Development of performance based test procedures for asphalt mixtures

Kliewer, Julie E. (1994-12-13)

In 1987, Congress authorized a 5 year $150 million dollar research program called the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). SHRP was divided into four major areas, including the asphalt research program. The aspha ...
Evaluation and application of ice segregation parameters for frost heave prediction

Ito, Yuzuru, 1958- (1993-06-29)

The success of civil engineering construction in cold regions often depends on the assessment of the potential for frost heave. Over the past two decades two models have been presented to the engineering community to i ...
Permanent deformation characteristics of dense-graded mixes using asphalt pavement analyzer

Sandoval-Gil, Jesus A. (2004-11-16)

The Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) device was used to characterize the impact of various mix factors on the development of permanent deformation in dense-graded mixes given a standard compactive effort. Factors includ ...
Prediction of low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete mixtures with thermal stress restrained specimen test results

Kanerva, Hannele K. (1993-06-21)

Low temperature cracking is attributed to tensile stresses induced in an asphalt concrete pavement that develop when the pavement is subjected to a cold temperature. Cracking results in poor ride quality and a reductio ...
Selection and performance evaluation of a test method to assess thermal cracking resistance of asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Jung, Duhwoe (1993-07-30)

Thermal distress in asphalt concrete pavements is a widespread problem around the world. Thermal cracking can be divided into two modes of distress: low temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking. Low temperatur ...
Stochastic analysis of the nonlinear response transition behavior of an ocean system

Yuk, Dongjun (2001-02-16)

The nonlinear response of an ocean system subjected to random excitations can exhibit very complex dynamic behaviors including jump phenomena and coexistence of attractors. In this study, the stochastic system response b ...
