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 ...
Soil compaction and compaction equipment
(1965-05)
Scope of Study: The purpose of this report is to study soil compaction in both the field and the laboratory. The main part of this report is a discussion of soil compaction from the construction point of view, including ...
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 ...
Fatigue of engineering materials
(1960-05)
Scope of Study: Investigation of the fatigue properties of engineering materials has formed the basis of much study in the past one hundred years. Although the approach to many of the studies were very similar, the results ...
