This study involved the determination of the structural layer properties of
aggregate and asphalt surfaced pavements for use in the evaluation of pavement load
carrying capacity and the seasonal effects of moisture. This was achieved by the use
of Nondestructive Testing Methods (NDT) and backcalculation techniques. Pavement
surface deflection measurements...
To apply accurate procedures of structural analysis
that are now available, the behavior of nailed joints in
light-frame wood buildings under long-term loads needs to
be studied. Such a behavior can best be evaluated by
testing specimens under constant loads, which requires
relatively simple testing arrangements. To provide for a...
