Application of Traffic Speed Deflectometer and AI-Based Models for Structural Calibration and Pavement Management Enhancement
Mendez Larrain, Matias M. (2023)Currently, different methods are used for the evaluation of pavement conditions including the surface, base, subbase, and subgrade. Among these, Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and/or Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer ... -
Characterization of Rutting in Asphalt Pavements using Laboratory Testing
Rani, Shivani (2019)In asphalt pavements, rutting is one of the main concerns at high in-service temperature, which can occur either through plastic flow or shear in structural layers. Rutting depends on several factors, such as asphalt binder ... -
A Coupled Chemo-Thermo-Poroelastic System: Well-Posedness and Approximation for Control Applications
Malysheva, Tetyana (2015)This dissertation addresses well-posedness and approximation problems for coupled parabolic-elliptic systems with applications to geomechanics. The work is motivated by problems of borehole stability in porous formations ... -
EVALUATION OF RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ASPHALT BINDERS FOR PAVEMENT DESIGN APPLICATIONS
Hossain, Zahid (2011)More that 90% of the total paved roadways in the U.S. are asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. The annual expenditures for construction and maintenance of these pavements exceed $10 billion. To reduce these maintenance costs, ... -
GAIT PERFORMANCE AND CONTROL OF A PROSTHETIC ANKLE JOINT FOR BELOW-KNEE AMPUTEES
Mai, Anh (2015)Traumatic events such as accidents or vascular and circulatory disorders often lead to amputation of the lower limb below the knee joint. The surgery is followed by fitting of a prosthetic device and rehabilitation process ... -
IMPACT OF MOISTURE CHANGES IN UNSATURATED SOIL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
Hassanikhah, Arash (2016-12-16)The mechanical and hydraulic properties of soil above the groundwater table change due to unsaturated conditions. While common, considering soil to be saturated as a simplifying assumption in the design of many important ... -
Laboratory and Field Assessment of Chemically-Stabilized Subgrade Moduli under Compressive and Flexural Loading
Nazari, Moeen (2016-12-07)The design and quality of the chemically-stabilized subgrade (CSS) layer have a vital role in the overall performance of the asphalt pavement. Uniform compaction of the CSS layer to the desired level can assure the amenability ... -
Laboratory Characterization of Recycled and Warm Mix Asphalt for Enhanced Pavement Applications
Ghabchi, Rouzbeh (2014)Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is the most widely used paving material in the U.S. Over the past two decades, many transportation agencies, asphalt producers, and pavement construction companies have taken major initiatives to ... -
MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF THE INTERACTION BETWEEN ROLLER DRUM AND PAVEMENT MATERIAL DURING COMPACTION
Imran, Syed (2016)The problem of ensuring real time control of compaction quality during pavement construction is considered in this dissertation. Asphalt pavements are complex, multilayer, heterogeneous structures where different layers ... -
Moisture-Induced Damage Characterization of Asphalt Mixes: A Chemical, Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Approach
Ali, Syed Ashik (2021-05)Moisture-induced damage is one of the major distresses which leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties of asphalt mixes and failure of asphalt pavements. Evaluation of the moisture-induced damage potential is a ... -
QUANTIFYING COSTS AND BENEFITS OF SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS IN THE CITY OF OKLAHOMA CITY
Mosier, Rachel (2013-12)Advocates of sustainable design and construction have asserted for years that sustainability can be designed and built without additional expense, however this premise has not been proven. For public projects, potential ...
