Book Engineering Fabrics and Asphalt Overlay Performance

Download or read book Engineering Fabrics and Asphalt Overlay Performance written by Joe W. Button and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geotextiles (engineering fabrics) were installed at four locations in Texas to evaluate their potential as cost-effective measures to reduce or delay reflection cracking in asphalt concrete overlays. The overlaid pavements included asphalt concrete, continuously reinforced portland cement concrete, and a freshly cold-milled asphalt concrete. Test pavements were approximately 0.25 mile in length with the fabric installed edge to edge. Nine different types of commercially available geotextiles comprised of nonwoven polypropylene or polyester were tested. One woven experimental product composed of polypropylene and polyester was also tested. Resistance to reflective cracking has been evaluated for up to 10 years.

Book Evaluation of Asphalt Rubber and Engineering Fabrics as Pavement Interlayers

Download or read book Evaluation of Asphalt Rubber and Engineering Fabrics as Pavement Interlayers written by Randy C. Ahlrich and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt-rubber and engineering fabric interlayers have been used to retard reflective cracks in asphalt concrete overlays. These materials have generally performed satisfactorily in warm climates; however, performance in cold climates has been less than desirable. The asphalt-rubber and engineering fabric rehabilitation techniques have been used to retard the reflection of cracks in existing asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete pavements through asphalt concrete overlays. These rehabilitation techniques also decrease the size of cracks that reflect through, thus retarding the amount of water penetrating into the base course and underlying subgrade. Guidance is provided for using asphalt rubber and engineering fabrics to maximize performance in reducing reflective cracking. This study should result in improved performance of overlays and, subsequently, substantial monetary savings to the taxpayers.

Book 8th RILEM International Conference on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements

Download or read book 8th RILEM International Conference on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements written by Armelle Chabot and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest advances in research to analyze mechanical damage and its detection in multilayer systems. The contents are linked to the Rilem TC241 - MCD scientific activities and the proceedings of the 8th RILEM International Conference on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements (MCD2016). MCD2016 was hosted by Ifsttar and took place in Nantes, France, on June 7-9, 2016. In their lifetime, pavements undergo degradation due to different mechanisms of which cracking is among the most important ones. The damage and the fracture behavior of all its material layers as well as interfaces must be understood. In that field, the research activities aims to develop a deeper fundamental understanding of the mechanisms responsible for cracking and debonding in asphalt concrete and composite (e.g. asphalt overlays placed on PCC or thin cement concrete overlay placed on asphalt layer) pavement systems.

Book Gravel Roads

Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Book Drinking Water Distribution Systems

Download or read book Drinking Water Distribution Systems written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-12-22 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting and maintaining water distributions systems is crucial to ensuring high quality drinking water. Distribution systems-consisting of pipes, pumps, valves, storage tanks, reservoirs, meters, fittings, and other hydraulic appurtenances-carry drinking water from a centralized treatment plant or well supplies to consumers' taps. Spanning almost 1 million miles in the United States, distribution systems represent the vast majority of physical infrastructure for water supplies, and thus constitute the primary management challenge from both an operational and public health standpoint. Recent data on waterborne disease outbreaks suggest that distribution systems remain a source of contamination that has yet to be fully addressed. This report evaluates approaches for risk characterization and recent data, and it identifies a variety of strategies that could be considered to reduce the risks posed by water-quality deteriorating events in distribution systems. Particular attention is given to backflow events via cross connections, the potential for contamination of the distribution system during construction and repair activities, maintenance of storage facilities, and the role of premise plumbing in public health risk. The report also identifies advances in detection, monitoring and modeling, analytical methods, and research and development opportunities that will enable the water supply industry to further reduce risks associated with drinking water distribution systems.
