Developement of a framework for asphalt performance-related specification and performance prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Traditional asphalt mixtures have generally involved relatively simple combinations of virgin asphalt binder and aggregates to meet load-bearing needs of the roads and surfaces. Accordingly, simple tests such as Marshall ... -
Evaluation of use of dry-process rubber modification in asphalt mixtures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)This study explores four different facets of using dry-process rubber modification in asphalt mixtures. The first investigation was motivated by the need to understand the cracking mechanism prevalent in the dry-process ... -
Harmonic wavelet analysis of surface waves at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)The use of stress wave-based geophysical methods in geotechnical engineering has continued to grow and is now a routine component of many geotechnical site investigation programs. Surface wave methods, in particular, are ... -
New methods for interpret the ultimate axial load capacity of driven square concrete piles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Piles are usually designed using analytical methods, empirical models, or dynamic formulas. Because of the uncertainties involved in the analysis and design of pile foundations, it has become customary, and in many cases ...
