Moisture Damage in Asphalt Concrete
Author : Russell G. Hicks
Publisher : Transportation Research Board
Page : 104 pages
File Size : 41,88 MB
Release : 1991
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 9780309049245
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to pavement designers, construction engineers, maintenance engineers, and others interested in avoiding or limiting moisture damage in asphalt concrete. Information is provided on physical and chemical explanations for moisture damage in asphalt concrete, along with a discussion of current practices and test methods for determining or reducing the susceptibility of various asphalt concrete components and mixtures to such damage. Moisture damage in asphalt concrete is a nationwide problem which often necessitates premature replacement of highway pavement surfaces. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the underlying physical and chemical phenomena responsible for such damage. Current test methods used to determine the susceptibility of asphalt concretes, or their constituents, to moisture damage are described and evaluated. Additionally, current practices for minimizing the potential for moisture damage are examined.
Static and Dynamic Properties of Gravelly Soils

Book Description
The behavior of gravelly soils has been the focus of much research in recent years. Large-scale penetration and triaxial tests, shear-wave velocity measurements, insitu freezing and sampling, shear modulus and damping ratio measurements, improved membrane compliance mitigation, and other innovations have helped improve our understanding of the behavior of gravelly soils. This proceedings, Static and Dynamic Properties of Gravelly Soils, contains papers presented at sessions held in conjunction with the ASCE Annual Convention held in San Diego, California, October 23-27, 1995. They deal with the behavior of gravelly soils. It is hoped that some of the work presented here will advance the state of knowledge in the area of gravelly soil behavior.
Ultrasonic and Advanced Methods for Nondestructive Testing and Material Characterization
Author : C. H. Chen
Publisher : World Scientific
Page : 682 pages
File Size : 22,47 MB
Release : 2007
Category : Medical
ISBN : 9812770941
Book Description
Ultrasonic methods have been very popular in nondestructive testing and characterization of materials. This book deals with both industrial ultrasound and medical ultrasound. The advantages of ultrasound include flexibility, low cost, in-line operation, and providing data in both signal and image formats for further analysis. The book devotes 11 chapters to ultrasonic methods. However, ultrasonic methods can be much less effective with some applications. So the book also has 14 chapters catering to other or advanced methods for nondestructive testing or material characterization. Topics like structural health monitoring, Terahertz methods, X-ray and thermography methods are presented. Besides different sensors for nondestructive testing, the book places much emphasis on signal/image processing and pattern recognition of the signals acquired.

Book Description
Testing concrete while construction is underway enables decisions to be made which can improve the quality of the finished structure. The book covers testing and measuring techniques for fresh concrete and concrete during the first few days after placing, and for reinforcement and prestressing tendons. Many examples are given of practical methods w
Ground Penetrating Radar for Evaluating Subsurface Conditions for Transportation Facilities

Release : 1998
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 9780309061100
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to state Department of Transportation (DOT) geotechnical, bridge, and pavement engineers, engineering geologists, consultants involved with ground penetrating radar (GPR) investigations for state DOTs, and researchers. It describes the current state of the practice of using GPR for evaluating subsurface conditions for transportation facilities. This was accomplished by conducting a literature search and review and an extensive survey of U.S. and Canadian transportation agencies and practitioners, as well as limited international information collection. GPR is a noninvasive nondestructive tool used in transportation applications such as evaluation and characterization of pavement systems, soils, and environmental problems. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents information on the principles, equipment, logistics, applications, and limitations of GPR pertaining to transportation applications. Selected case studies for which ground truth information is available are presented. In addition, an extensive bibliography and glossary are provided as well as appending information about GPR manufacturers from their literature.
