Bridge decks deteriorate faster and require more maintenance and repair than any other structural components on highway bridges. Topical protection systems act as barriers to protect bridge decks from corrosion damage by preventing water, oxygen, and chloride ions from reaching the reinforcement. This study evaluated topical protection systems commonly used on highway bridge decks in Colorado, including low-permeability concrete overlays and waterproof...

Description
Truncated base mechanically stabilized earth walls are the MSE walls with narrow base excavation length and steep excavation slope designed to save construction cost while pushing the technological envelope of geosynthetic reinforcement development. A wall with truncated geometry of a narrow base length and steep excavation slope can significantly increase its base bearing pressure.

Description
Proper structural design of pavement systems requires knowing the resilient modulus of the soil as this parameter is a proven predictor of the stress-dependent elastic modulus of soil materials under traffic loading. In addition, the R-value test is conducted using a device called a stabilometer, where the material's resistance to deformation is expressed as a function of the ratio of the transmitted lateral pressure to that of the applied vertical...
