Book Influence of Compaction Temperature and Anti stripping Treatment on the Results from the Hamburg Wheel tracking Device

Download or read book Influence of Compaction Temperature and Anti stripping Treatment on the Results from the Hamburg Wheel tracking Device written by Timothy Aschenbrener and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hamburg wheel-tracking device can be used to predict the moisture susceptibility of a hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement. This report shows how the test results are influenced by compaction temperature and anti-stripping treatment. The higher the compaction temperature, the better the results in the Hamburg wheel-tracking device. The use of hydrated lime and liquid anti-stripping additives improved the results in the Hamburg wheel-tracking device over HMAs that were not treated. Hydrated lime dramatically improved the HMAs that were not treated. Liquid anti-stripping additives improved some of the HMAs dramatically while other HMAs were only improved slightly.

Book Investigation of Low Temperature Thermal Cracking in Hot Mix Asphalt

Download or read book Investigation of Low Temperature Thermal Cracking in Hot Mix Asphalt written by Timothy Aschenbrener and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was performed to determine the influence of material properties on the thermal cracking performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA), and to determine the ability to predict thermal cracking from pavements of known field performance. The testing device used to measure the HMA properties was the thermal-stress, restrained-specimen test (TSRST), and the device used to measure the binder properties was the bending beam rheometer (BBR). The laboratory study was conducted to determine the variability of test results as an influence of 1) asphalt cement stiffness, 2) asphalt cement quantity, 3) mixes with various aggregate qualities, 4) aging, and 5) the presence of hydrated lime. The influence of the asphalt cement stiffness was the single largest factor that controlled the test results.

Book Performance Evaluation of Various Corrosion Protection Systems of Bridges in Colorado

Download or read book Performance Evaluation of Various Corrosion Protection Systems of Bridges in Colorado written by Yunping Xi and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion of reinforced concrete structures has been a significant problem for many state and transportation agencies since the application of deicing salts was introduced. Much research has been conducted to develop corrosion protection systems that can prolong the life span of reinforced concrete structures. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has several routine and experimental measures to prevent corrosion of the rebar including epoxy-coated rebar, calcium nitrite admixture, organic corrosion inhibitors, a thick cover of quality concrete, and a waterproofing membrane covered by an asphalt overlay. An extensive literature review was performed to collect information on various corrosion protection systems that have been used in the U.S. and around the world. Current CDOT practices in terms of corrosion protection measures were reviewed. A draft inspection plan for Colorado's bridge structures was proposed.

Book Long term Performance of Accelerated Rigid Pavements  Project CXMP 13 0006 07

Download or read book Long term Performance of Accelerated Rigid Pavements Project CXMP 13 0006 07 written by Ardani Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the post-construction evaluation of the fast track pavement in Sterling, Colorado. The field evaluation consisted of visual inspection, fault measurement, profile measurement and distress survey. A set of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) measurements was also acquired to assess the structural responses and to evaluate load transfer efficiency between the slabs. The results of this study demonstrated that fast track concrete can be as durable as the conventional concrete pavement. After seven years of being in service the pavement has shown no sign of fatigue, only some minor distresses unrelated to fast track techniques.

Book Determining the Degree of Aggregate Degradation After Using the NCAT Asphalt Content Tester

Download or read book Determining the Degree of Aggregate Degradation After Using the NCAT Asphalt Content Tester written by Randolph Reyes and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the research conducted was to determine if aggregate degradation takes place and to measure the possible degree of degradation after bituminous mixtures are heated inside the NCAT Asphalt Content Tester. A study was conducted which compared the original aggregate blend (control specimens) to the residual aggregate blend (experimental specimens) obtained after several bituminous mixtures were heated inside the NCAT Asphalt Content Tester. The control specimens and the experimental specimens used to produce the bituminous mixtures were the result of an aggregate sample which was split three times. Two methods of analysis were used to review the gradation results.

Book excerpt: Evaluation of joint seals has been a difficult job. The Iowa Department of Transportation has developed a testing system that gives a positive indication where there is a place where a joint seal leaks. This study evaluates the Iowa Vacuum Testing System and compares its results with those obtained by experienced visual evaluators on several types of seals in concrete pavement. Recommendations are made concerning use, maintenance, and possible changes in the system.

Book I 76 Truck Study

Download or read book I 76 Truck Study written by David A. Price and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portions of the driving lane on I-76 located in the Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT's) Region 4 are seriously distressed. To help prolong the life of the Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Region 4 has placed signs advising truckers to use the passing lane between Roggen and the Nebraska state line [approximately 140 miles (225 km)]. A test section well within the signed test area advising the truckers to use the passing lane and a control section just prior to the signed area were established and evaluated over a four year period. Roughness data taken with an Ames Profilograph, slab faulting measured with a Georgia fault meter, and overall physical pavement distress were noted and used as a comparison between driving lane and passing lane within the two sections.

Book Cracking in Bridge Decks

Download or read book Cracking in Bridge Decks written by Pui-shum B. Shing and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the findings of a study whose primary objectives are to determine the cause of extensive transverse cracking that has been observed in some existing bridge decks, and to identify the change of material specifications and construction practice that is necessary to reduce the severity of deck cracking. To achieve these goals, recent studies on the cause of bridge deck cracking were reviewed, an experimental study was conducted to compare the shrinkage properties of different concrete mixes, and the current material and design specifications and construction practice adopted by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) were reviewed to identify areas that need improvement. A survey was conducted on seven newly constructed bridges to examine the extent of cracking in concrete decks that were constructed with the different mix designs and curing procedure that were currently used by CDOT.
