Implementation of Low Temperature Tests for Asphalt Mixtures to Improve the Longevity of Road Surfaces (Dec 2013, MPC-13-260)
Field samples were obtained from cores taken from multiple roads around the Salt Lake Valley in Utah and prepared for BBR testing. The response of field cores showed that even though the same binder grade used in the region was the same, the resulting mixtures have significant differences in creep moduli...
Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of Bridges in Mountainous States (Sep 2013, MPC-13-255)
Depending on the location, highway bridges can often support considerable amounts of traffic. Due to the limitations on current earthquake forecasting techniques, a normal amount of traffic will also typically remain on a bridge when an earthquake occurs. In addition to traffic, scour effects are also...
