Development of an AASHTO Guide Specification for UHPC
The widespread, growing interest in the United States in using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) in engineered structures is being hindered by a lack of structural design guidance relevant to this class of materials. The material characteristics that form the foundational inputs for existing reinforced concrete design specifications do not ...

Generally, LED headlights had neutral or beneficial effects on wildlife responses, suggesting they could reduce collisions given the increased illumination levels they provide drivers. Additionally, our results support previous research indicating increased frontal vehicle illumination can reduce dangerous encounters with wildlife. Our findings suggest

Integrated VES, ERI, and MASW surveys, constrained by boreholes, delineate a central low‐resistivity/low‐V s weak corridor and more competent volcanic strata at depth. The eastern sector offers preferable foundation conditions, while identified weak zones require ground improvement or deep foundations to mitigate differential‐settlement risk.

Determinación probabilística del tiempo de servicio de estructuras de pavimentos
En Chile, como en muchos países de Suramérica, AASHTO 93 es el método oficial para el diseño de pavimentos asfálticos. El método entrega un número estimado de ejes equivalentes estándar de 80 kN que el pavimento puede soportar hasta alcanzar un cierto ...

As fragility and risk modeling techniques and computational capabilities evolve, complemented by moving toward more routine and systematic seismic risk assessment of all buildings and critical infrastructure, the authors pose a few critical questions to investigate how the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Models (NSHMs) can be used

Numerical Investigation of Bored Tunnelling Effects on Pile‐Supported Superstructures
ABSTRACT Tunnelling in urban environments can significantly affect existing buried structures such as pile foundations. However, the current understanding of how tunnelling‐induced ground movements influence the stability and serviceability of piles remains limited. This knowledge gap presents potential risks that must be addressed during tunnel design

Alternatives to the Current AASHTO Standard Bridge Sections [PDF]
The main objective of this study was evaluate feasible alternatives to the current AASHTO bridge girders used in Indiana. This evaluation included precast pretensioned bridge girders for spans from 30 to 130 feet with girder spacing between 5 and 10 feet up to 12 feet for the longer spans.

The Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation and the associated Conservation Actions Classification 2.0 serve as important and widely used tools to plan, implement, and monitor projects. Drawing a research effort that used the CAC 2.0 as a classification tool to synthesize the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative's thousands of projects, this ...
