management practices. The research presented and discussed in this thesis presents the option of using pervious concrete in highway shoulders as a best management practice for stormwater management. Research focused on the hydraulic response of pervious...

With the increasing use of augered cast-in-place piles in new construction, it is important that proper design parameters be incorporated when evaluating pile capacity and performance using reliability-based design methods. This paper focuses...

Concrete pavements generally show excellent performance; however, some have shown premature joint degradation at young age in recent years. There are many causes of premature deterioration including poor mix designs, ...

The Crossroads District of Kansas City, Missouri is an urban area that receives runoff from many other parts of the city. More than 1,800 acres of drainage area supply runoff to this district and have many different ...

Stormwater management and design was developed to reduce the impacts of runoff due to the increase in urbanization and impervious area in the hydrologic system. Stormwater management takes many different forms, including ...

Reducing cement clinker with mineral addition has been considered an efficient way of saving energy, lowering CO2 footprint of cement and concrete industries. The trend of using limestone as mineral addition in cement ...

The population of East Africa (Kenya) has continued to increase steadily due to rural urban migration. This has created a large population influx of low-income earners which has resulted in lack of low-cost affordable ...

Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are novel multipurpose materials in concrete technology. This study investigated the potential for using SAPs as a mechanism for physical air entrainment. Mixtures were produced using ...

The environmental benefits of permeable pavements are vast and include stormwater quantity reduction, stormwater quality improvement, urban heat island mitigation, and groundwater recharge, among others. Permeable ...

This research evaluated a series of MoDOT concrete mixtures to verify existing relationships between surface resistivity (SR), rapid chloride permeability (RCP), chloride ion diffusion, and the AASHTO penetrability ...
