This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book mainly studies the methodologies of structural design and construction for highway engineering, which are applicable to the overall control and the precise operation of engineering structures. It explores the method of comprehensive analysis, the simplification of complex problems, and the application of typical engineering tools. In turn, the book presents a number of innovative approaches, e.g. the coordinated control of structural deformation method, the theory of underground engineering balance and stability, and the soft soil foundation treatment of “bumping at the bridgehead.” These methodologies are then illustrated in typical cases and representative problems, explained from a practical standpoint. Examples in special settings are also discussed, e.g. highway construction in Tibet, and rebuilding after the Wenchuan earthquake. The book offers a valuable reference guide for all those whose work involves highway engineering design, construction, management, and scientific research.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Management and Methods in Concrete Highway Construction The construction of a concrete pavement is a manufacturing process in which labor and machinery are used to handle, treat, and place in final position those materials which are the necessary ingredients of the pavement. The contractor's problem is to obtain a profit from this work. He desires to do good work. Commonly he is willing to follow any reasonable course of action in order to secure good work. Nevertheless, his primary objective is profit. This he must have or he must go out of business. But the question of whether an operation will yield a good profit or net a serious loss is largely dependent on the skill with which the labor he employs and the equipment he owns are used. For this reason, the management of production and the use of appropriate production methods are of paramount importance to contractors and to their superintendents. A discussion of these matters should also be of value to designing engineers in that a more complete knowledge of the elements which affect cost should enable them to give a broader consideration to these matters when design and specifications are under consideration. Construction engineers and inspectors also will find a knowledge of the principles of production management and of good construction practice of assistance, for, though their primary objective is quality, a knowledge of the principles and the practices of efficient management should make it a simpler matter to secure the desired quality without endangering the contractor's profit. This discussion of the management of production and of appropriate methods has, then, been prepared primarily for contractors and their superintendents, and for engineers who are dealing with the various phases of concrete pavement construction. On this account, it has been possible to eliminate many of the details which would be desirable in a book especially prepared for the instruction of men unfamiliar with the technique of this work.

Download or read book Enhancing Quality Management in Highway Construction Using Emerging Methods written by Olugbenro Ogunrinde and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highway systems contribute immensely to economic development and growth. However, the recent D+ rating for highway infrastructure in the US highlights the dire state of highways across the nation and the need to invest in renovating or building new roads. The cascading impact of regular highway projects creates a need to construct highways that will last longer. The adverse effect of these operations increases the economic cost for state highway agencies (SHA) and commuters. For example, congestion costs for the freight industry in 2018 exceeded $87 billion. Efficient and sustainable construction practices can increase the return on investment and provide the infrastructure that meets and possibly exceeds the design life. With respect to pavements, asphalt concrete (AC) comprises over 90% of pavement surface materials. A well-designed AC pavement can have a lifespan of over 15 years with minor maintenance; however, this design life may be reduced without strongly enforced quality management processes (i.e. quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) programs). In cases of exceptional QC/QA programs, SHAs have observed long AC pavement service lives. For example, there is a section of I-90 in Washington state that has been in service for 35 years with no rehabilitation except minor resurfacing. The New Jersey DOT found the same to be true on a section of I-287 with 26-year-old AC pavement. This dissertation focuses on the quality of highway construction in these aspects: 1. Effect of nighttime construction on quality of asphalt paving, 2. A review of the application of emerging technologies for highway construction quality management, 3. Quality management technologies in highway construction: stakeholders' perception of utility, benefits, and barriers, 4. Model development for automation assessment readiness in highway construction quality management processes: a fuzzy synthetic evaluation approach. Existing literature for pavement construction practices and operations have primarily focused on cost, schedule, and safety whereas this study will examine the issues surrounding quality during construction in the context of paving operation technology and efficiency. Similarly, existing literature for pavement construction practices contains numerous studies evaluating nondestructive testing NDT technology. However, this study will evaluate the application of various technologies holistically to identify information on the current state, effectiveness, and automation readiness of some quality management technologies in the highway construction industry. Information from the study will enhance the adoption of emerging methods for quality management processes and procedures in highway construction.

This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004, a team of representatives from the Federal Highway Administration, State highway agencies, industry, and academia visited Canada, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Scotland, and the United Kingdom. The purpose of this International Technology Scanning Program study was to identify practices that might be evaluated and applied in the United States to improve construction management. One significant scan finding was that the countries visited had an advanced awareness of risk assessment and allocation techniques that are just now evolving in U.S. highway agencies. This instructional report was developed as part of the scan team's implementation plan to raise awareness of risk management techniques and begin the process of incorporating risk management elements into the institutional structures of highway agencies. The report is designed to be used in conjunction with workshops on implementing risk management.
