An Overview Of Mitigation Strategies For Settlements Under Bridge Approach Slabs
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Settlement and heave related movements of bridge approach slabs relative to bridge decks create a bump in the roadway causing inconvenience to the travelling public and at times so large as to make travelling unsafe. Hence, ...
Sustainable Reutilization Of Excavated Trench Material
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Sustainability is becoming a key factor in most construction projects. In most construction projects, personnel are spending efforts to understand the social, economic and environmental impacts of the various facets of ...
Effect Of Stress And Suction Histories Dynamic Properties Of Statically Compacted Silty Sand
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
This paper is devoted to the analysis of the experimental study whose intent is to find the effect of the stress/suction history on the dynamic properties of silty sand subjected to small- to mid-strains. The practical ...
Evaluation Of Building Information Modeling (BIM) For Water Transmission Pipelines
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
In the construction industry, water transmission pipelines projects typically require two-dimensional drawings for transferring design data to the field. These drawings are referred as construction documents and serve as ...
Development Of A True-cost Concept For Renewal Of Municipal Underground Pipeline Systems
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Asset management principles for underground pipeline infrastructure (UPI) are used by municipalities for efficient delivery of water, wastewater, and storm sewers. Due to budget constraints and limited resources, ...
The Last Planner System For Realiable Project Delivery
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
The Last Planner System is a production planning system designed to produce predictable work flow and rapid learning in programming, design, construction and commissioning of projects. The Last Planner System (LPS) is ...
Development Of A New Device To Evaluate Stabilization Durability Of Expansive Soils By Addressing Wetting/drying And Leachate Issues
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Expansive soils have been known to cause deterioration among all aspects of civil infrastructure for many years primarily due to the presence of clay minerals like Montmorillonite. Replacing these problematic soils is not ...
The Effects Of Climate, Soil, And Vegetation On The Design Of Water Balance Covers For Solid Waste Landfills In Texas
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of climate, soil, and vegetation on the design of water balance (WB) covers for solid waste landfills in Texas. This study was conducted using water balance software ...
Resilient Properties Of Unsaturated Base Materials
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
A pavement system basically consists of a surface layer, a base course, a subbase (optional) and the subgrade. As per MEPDG and 1993 AASHTO flexible pavement design guide Resilient Modulus (MR) is used as the primary input ...
Qualitative Evaluation Of Transportation Construction Related Social Costs And Their Impacts On The Local Community
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-07-25)
Although construction is valuable after completion, it can cause many disturbances throughout the duration of the project. These negative impacts, such as economic losses and annoyances, which face the community surrounding ...
