The Chile earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0.36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete buildings ranging in height from 5 ...

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois Center for Transportation (ICT) sponsored and hosted the 2010 Highway Safety Manual (HSM) Lead State Peer-to-Peer Workshop November 17–18, 2010, at the ...

The potential and accuracy aspects of a completely automated stereo photogrammetric vision system for performing precise 3-D body mapping of whole human bodies have been investigated. A prototype vision system by integrating ...

Ten CRCP sections were built at the ATREL full-scale testing facility, with five sections being tested under accelerated traffic loading conditions and five sections evaluated for induced transverse cracks. The opening and ...

Recent developments in photogrammetric methods, in general, and orthophoto mapping in particular, have resulted in the increasing availability of digital elevation data. The accuracy of digital elevation data generated ...

The corrosion-fatigue life of drill-pipe steels in simulated offshore-drilling environments was predicted using an analytical model. This model, named the Active-Path-Dissolution (APD) model, simulates a sequence of three ...

Environmental sensor networks enable researchers to collect data at an impressive order of magnitude, both temporally and spatially. Without effective sampling logic, these powerful tools can produce an overwhelming quantity ...

Crack sealing is a common pavement maintenance treatment because it extends pavement service life significantly. However, crack sealant often fails prematurely due to a loss of adhesion. Because current test methods are ...
