1.1 Background The California Bearing ratio (CBR) test has been widely used in pavement design since mid 1940’s. It is a relative measure of subgrade soil or base/subbase aggregate strength. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has been using its own Virginia Test Method-8 (VTM-8) to perform CBR testing. On the other hand, private industry and other DOT’s are using AASHTO (American ...

In a continuing effort to provide a solution, engineers in the Construction and Technology Division (C&T) of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) are studying alternative bridge deck designs. C&T engineers are six years into a study which could eventually save Michigan motorists a considerable amount of tax dollars. The study compares the performance of isotropic bridge decks with d...

The use of heavier trucks demanded upgrading of a twenty-seven year old bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Analysis of the precast prestressed concrete girders using the current AASHTO Code indicates a deficiency in the shear capacity. Shear strengthening using Carbon Fibre R_einforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets provides a low-cost solution by increasing the speed of construction and reducing tra...

The dynamic effect of moving vehicles on bridges is generally treated as a dynamic load allowance (or dynamic impact factor) in many design codes. Due to the road surface deterioration of existing bridges, studies have shown that the calculated impact factors from field measurements could be higher than the values specified in design codes that mainly target at new bridge designs. This paper de...

1 2 Resilient modulus test is the recommended test to characterize subgrade soil for 3 pavement design in 1993 AASHTO pavement design guide as well as new proposed 4 Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). This test requires significant 5 resources including high level of technical capability to conduct. For smaller projects where 6 costly and complex resilient modulus testing is n...

Integral abutment bridges (IABs) have many advantages over conventional bridges in terms of strength and maintenance cost. Due to the integrity of these structures uniform thermal and seismic loads are known important ones on the structure performance. Although all bridge design codes consider temperature and earthquake loads separately in their load combinations for conventional bridges, the t...

A reliability-based method for inspection scheduling of steel bridges is proposed to yield the optimal (most economical) inspection strategy that meets an acceptable safety level through the planned service life. Two fatigue reliability formulations that can be applied for most details in steel bridges are presented. For details classified according to AASHTO fatigue categories, a limit state f...
