Real-scale Accelerated Testing to Evaluate Long-term Performance for Bridge/Earthwork Transition Structure Reinforced by Geosynthetics and Cement Treated Materials

Long Term Performance of Asbestos Cement

OBJECTIVE: The overall objective of this research study was to explore the current conditions and state of the art in management of asbestos cement (AC) water main assets and develop a practical, comprehensive guidance manual to be used by the owners of these assets. Issues to be addressed included pipe deterioration and failure, condition assessment, remaining service life prediction, rehabili...

Electrical Testing of Cement-Based Materials: Role of Testing Techniques, Sample Conditioning, and Accelerated Curing

Current Status of Long-term Care in Taiwan: Transition of Long-term Care Plan From 1.0 to 2.0

Integrating Short-Term Pressure Buildup Testing and Long-Term Production Data Analysis to Evaluate Hydraulically-Fractured Gas Well Performance

This paper presents an integrated approach for evaluating the post-fracture performance of gas wells completed in tight gas sands. Our technique focuses on a methodology for evaluating the stimulation effectiveness of hydraulically fractured gas wells. Rather than relying on a single evaluation technique, we integrate short-term pressure buildup testing with long-term production data analysis u...

Worldwide Applications of Geosynthetics Reinforced Walls for Soil Reinforcement

Geosynthetics have become well established construction materials for geotechnical applications in most parts of the world. Because they constitute manufactured materials, new products and applications are developed on a routine basis to provide solutions to routine and critical problems alike. Results from recent research and from monitoring of instrumented structures throughout the years have...
