Mitigation of Differential Settlement at Highway Bridge Approaches: Lightweight Cellular Concrete Technology (Jan 2025, MPC-24-537)
Steven Bartlett and Daniel Seeley

Lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) is increasingly used in geotechnical applications due to its low density and favorable mechanical behavior. Back-pressure saturated hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted on specimens treated with bentonite to prevent sidewall bypass. Micro-computed tomography...

Improving Design and Construction of Transportation Infrastructure through Bedrock Characterization (Sep 2022, MPC-22-480)
Kam Ng, Lokendra Khatri, and Esraa Alomari

This study evaluates a comprehensive experimental investigation to better understand the mechanical and deformation behavior of Wyoming bedrocks and therefore to improve the design and construction of transportation infrastructure. Fifty-six rock samples were collected from different locations around...

Development of LRFD Recommendations of Driven Piles on Intermediate Geomaterials (Aug 2022, MPC-22-478)
Kam Ng, Nafis Masud, Opeyemi Oluwatuyi, and Shaun Wulff

This study aims to improve the efficiency of driven piles in intermediate geomaterials (IGMs) to increase the reliability of pile foundations for bridge structures. Test pile data collected from the seven state DOTs and total 223 pile load test data are evaluated to provide recommendations for driven...
