Investigation of measured prestress losses compared with design prestress losses in AASHTO Types II, III, IV, and VI bridge girders

PCI journal, 2021
Inaccurate prediction of prestress losses leads to inaccurate predictions for camber, deflection, and concrete stresses in a bridge girder. This study aims to improve the prediction of prestress losses and provides bridge designers with insights into the

Implementation of the AASHTO M 332 Specification: A Case Study

, 2020
Over the past 20 years, changes in asphalt binders, the widespread adoption of polymer modified asphalts, and the need to bump asphalt binder grades to consider traffic conditions have exposed the gaps in the AASHTO M 320 specification, and subsequently ...

AASHTO's Wetland Manual for Transportation Designers

Engineering Approaches to Ecosystem Restoration, 1998
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) developed the “Guide to Wetland Mitigation Issues for Transportation Designers” for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), published in September 1996. The manual provides a bridge of understanding between the specialized disciplines of wetland ecology and ...

Fatigue Provisions of AASHTO Specifications

Journal of the Structural Division, 1976
The statistical properties of fatigue strength of various types of weldments are analyzed from which the allowable fatigue stresses are computed. Results compare favorably with those of the AASHTO Fatigue Specifications (1973). The North Carolina 1972 vehicular traffic data are used to derive the statistical properties of vehicle type, weight, and ...

AASHTO Flexible Pavement Design Equation Study

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1989
A revised flexible pavement design equation has recently been published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. The revised equation contains new input parameters: resilient modulus, \IM\dR,\N to characterize subgrade support; reliability, \IR,\N to allow the designer to introduce the concept of risk analysis into the

AASHTO T307 — Background and Discussion

2003
The current AASHTO protocol for determination of resilient modulus of soils and aggregate material (T307-99) is based largely on Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Protocol P46. The LTPP protocol evolved over a number of years and has had numerous contributors (including significant guidance and input from the authors of this paper).

Designing Stormwater Chambers to Meet AASHTO Specifications

Journal of ASTM International, 2010
Abstract Thermoplastic stormwater chambers have been successfully used on many projects to meet current federal regulations controlling discharges from newly developed sites. These structures are commonly located under parking lots or roadways and subjected to vehicular loads on a regular basis.
