    • Concrete cracking in new bridge decks and overlays 

      Foley, Christopher; Wan, Baolin; Komp, Jordan (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2010-02)
      There appears to be a trend for new bridge decks in the state of Wisconsin to develop early-age transverse cracks and map cracks on concrete overlays. A comprehensive literature review of the potential causes of concrete ...
    • Development and layout of a protocol for the field performance of concrete deck and crack sealants 

      Pincheira, Jose A. (Midwest Regional University Transportation Center, 2009-08)
      The main objective of this project was to develop and layout a protocol for the long-term monitoring and assessment of the performance of concrete deck and crack sealants in the field. To accomplish this goal, a total of ...
    • Effectiveness and performance of crack sealants for bridge decks (implementation project) 

      Pincheira, Jose A. (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2009-06)
      The primary objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and performance of selected products for sealing cracks in concrete bridge decks. The project was a follow up study of an earlier investigation to expand ...
    • Evaluation of concrete deck and crack sealers 

      Pincheira, Jose A.; Dorhorst, Melissa A. (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-12-03)
      The primary objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and relative performance of commercially available concrete bridge deck and crack sealants. A total of thirteen deck sealants and ten crack sealants were ...
    • Fatigue risks in the connections of sign support structures: phase I 

      Hellenthal, Matthew; Foley, Christopher; Komp, Jordan; Wan, Baolin; Weglarz, Mathew; Schmidt, Joseph P.; Smith, Andrew (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2008-12)
      Wisconsin sought to assess the risk of fatigue-induced fracture in its existing sign support structures designed before the latest AASHTO specifications that included fatigue design. A framework for assessing fatigue-induced ...
    • Field validation of Wisconsin modified binder selection guidelines 

      Bahia, Hussain; Motamed, Arash; Delgadillo, Rodrigo (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2007-06)
      In June 2005, a report with Modified Binder Selection Guidelines for Wisconsin was finished under the sponsorship of the Wisconsin Highway Research Program. The report name is Development of Guidelines for PG Binder Selection ...
    • Materials characterization and analysis of the Marquette Interchange HMA perpetual pavement 

      Crovetti, James A.; Titi, Hani; Coenen, Aaron; Elias, Mohammed B.; Williams, R. Christopher; Li, Xinjun (Midwest Regional University Transportation Center, 2008-08)
      This project focused on the characterization of materials used to construct the Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) perpetual pavement within the Marquette Interchange and on the analysis of collected pavement response data to investigate ...
    • Reducing shrinkage cracking of structural concrete through the use of admixtures 

      Chun, Yoon-moon; Naik, Tarun R.; Kraus, Rudolph N. (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2006-03)
      Shrinkage-reducing admixtures (SRAs) from three manufacturers (SRA-1, Eucon SRA from Euclid; SRA-2, Eclipse Plus from Grace; and SRA-3, Tetraguard AS20 from Degussa) were evaluated in Wisconsin Department of Transportation ...
    • Structural analysis of sign bridge structures and luminaire supports 

      Ginal, Scott; Foley, Christopher; Peronto, John; Fournelle, Raymond (Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2004-03)
      The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has experienced failures of a high-mast luminaire (HML) support structure and a full-span overhead sign support structure. Furthermore, cracking has been found in many sign support ...
