Pavement hydroplaning risk evaluation with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and 1mm 3D texture data
(2015-07)
During wet weather automobiles traveling on pavements may experience hydroplaning that would cause out-of-control accidents. Annually 14% of all accidents with fatalities occur on wet pavements. However, not many studies ...
Novel system of pavement cracking detection algorithms using 1mm 3D surface data
(2015-12)
Pavement cracking is one of the major concerns for pavement design and management. There have been rapid developments of automated pavement cracking detection in recent years. However, none of them has been widely accepted ...
Feature investigation using micro computed tomography within materials
(2018-05)
This work uses micro computed tomography, as a direct non-destructive tool, to investigate the internal 3D microstructure of different materials at multiple length scales to provide insights that are of interest to the ...
Developing Predictive Models for Fuel Consumption and Maintenance Cost Using Equipment Fleet Data
(2019-07)
The state departments of transportation (DOTs) possess a big construction equipment fleet that is engaged in various highway maintenance and repair activities all over the state. Fleet managers are called upon to give the ...
Characterizing pavement skid resistance for roadway crash prediction in Oklahoma
(2019-07)
Skid resistance is critical for roadway safety. This study investigates two approaches to characterizing skid resistance based on pavement texture data and further exploring its effects on roadway crashes in Oklahoma. Skid ...
Proportioning manufactured sand in flowable concrete
(2020-12)
Manufactured sand has started to be used in concrete due to its availability and low cost. However, it has different shape properties, gradations, and mineralogy in comparison to the natural sand, and these differences can ...
Modeling heat transfer in mass concrete floors with radiant heat from ground source systems
(2017-05)
Thermal properties of concrete have been extensively studied for the design of mass concrete structures regarding cracking and stress development considerations. The rise in blended cement with limestone and fly ash as a ...
Durability evaluation of concrete sealed with polyurea polyaspartic coatings
(2020-05)
For this project, the performance of various polyaspartic coating materials was investigated. Motivation for this study was to assess various options for the containment of concrete within bridge parapet walls to prevent ...
Applying satellite remote sensing, unmanned systems, and models for water quality analysis
(2022-07)
Transport of soils and sediment by runoff diminish the surface water quality of lakes/reservoirs and shrink reservoir capacity. Nutrients move with transported soil and sediment due to soil erosion by floods and high wind. ...
