(Only some records are available in English at this moment)
Experimental sidewalks are going to be built using pervious concrete with complementary drainage systems. Drainability tests in such areas and their structural capacity for small loads will be evaluated. The project focuses on the issue of soil sealing in urban environments and mitigation.
Old concrete pavements sometimes require intensive repair maintenace due to fatigue cracks and faulting at joints; such distresses disclose low bearing capacity as well as low serviceability. Conventional technique for restoring concrete pavements are laying asphalt carpets that commonly present premature problems due to reflective cracks.During the early 90"s old concrete pavements in Eu…
To perform simulations comparing ELSYM 5 and MnLAYER softwares analysing their advantages; to develop a graphical interface in Visual Basic for the MnLayer software; to make it available for academics and professionals through internet web site of USP. (AU)
The research project includes field data analysis and its interpretation for structural design of both concrete pavements employing reduced length and width and composite pavements (asphalt courses over concrete bases). The research involves both the University of Illinois and the University of Minnesota in US. Field data comprises heavy vehicle simulator performance responses, including …
