Environmental Conditions and Binder Aging Characteristics in the Intermountain Region of the United States
(2009)
Thermal cracking is a major form of distress in much of the northern United States. Moreover, field performance data indicate that HMA mixtures in the intermountain region of the U.S. experience severe thermal cracking ...
Impact Of Anti-Strip Additives On Long-Term Aging Properties Of Asphalt Mixtures
(2009)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of lime and liquid anti-strip additives on the long-term aging properties of asphalt binders and mixtures sampled from five different U.S. locations. The HMA mixtures ...
Characteristics of Dynamic Triaxial Testing of Asphalt Mixtures
(2009)
Due to the increasing traffic loads and tire pressures, a serious detrimental impact has occurred on flexible pavements in the form of excessive permanent deformation once the critical combination of loading and environmental ...
Investigation of Near-Fault Ground Motion Effects on Substandard Bridge Columns and Bents
(2009)
Until recently, seismic design codes were generally based on research addressing far-field earthquake characteristics. As more near-fault ground motions have been recorded, it has been realized that special considerations ...
Damage Avoidance Design of Special Truss Girder Frames with Energy Dissipation Devices
(2009)
An innovative detail that facilitates the use of energy dissipating devices, such as Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs), is proposed for Special Truss Moment Frames (STMFs). The configuration of the proposed Special Truss ...
Evaluation of Pressure-Driven and Novel Membrane Processes for Treatment of Cooling Tower Water
(2009)
Cooling towers are an essential part of power generating facilities and require large quantities of water for continuous operation. To meet the high water demands, cooling towers use makeup water from various sources. Low ...
Use of Statistical Methods to Study Corrosion Aggressiveness at Nevada Mechanically Stabilized Earth Wall Sites
(2009)
Nevada has over 150 mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining walls at 39 locations. Recently, high levels of corrosion were observed due to accidental discovery at two of these locations, specifically I-515/Flamingo ...
Analytical Method Development for the Detection of the Metabolites of the Hormonal Steroids Trenbolone Acetate and Melengestrol Acetate in Complex Environmental Matrices using Gas Chromatography / Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(2009)
The occurrence of hormonal steroids originating from cattle implanted with anabolic growth promoters in surface waters is of great consequence to sensitive aquatic species. Exposure to excreted metabolites of trenbolone ...
Analysis of Centrate Composition and Evaluation of its Applicability as a Nutrient Supplement to Irrigation Water
(2009)
Experimental analyses were carried out to evaluate the chemical composition of centrate originating from Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF, Reno, NV) and its applicability as a nutrient supplement to reuse ...
Impact of Lime on the Mechanical Properties of HMA Mixtures in Nevada
(2009)
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of hydrated lime on the mechanical properties of typical HMA mixtures in Nevada. This research differed from previous studies in several respects. First, because lime ...
