The intent of this project was to examine typical hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements that are constructed in the state of Wisconsin. The analysis compares the suggested pavement structures based on the 1972 pavement design ...

The aim of this research project was to improve current practice by investigating different test methods to quantify moisture damage in an effort to serve the short and long term needs of the agency and industry. In the ...

This report summarizes the state of the art of using reinforcing structural members to stabilize surficial slope failures. The literature search and review conducted in this study indicated that the use of structural members ...

The purpose of this study is the development of permeability and density acceptance criteria for hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements in Wisconsin. The work detailed in this report is Phase I of II. Databases from the Pavement ...

This research investigated primarily two methods of determining the air-void system parameters of hardened concrete. The methods investigated were the use of a flat-bed scanner and the use of a CT x-ray scanner. The flat-bed ...

This study will determine the correlation of various properties and conditions to the friction angle values. Investigation will also determine the variation in these values and recommend allowable design values for the ...

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 ...

Wide-flanged concrete girders are increasingly being used for highway bridges in Wisconsin. These girders are closely spaced and have very small clear gaps between the girder flanges making conventional plywood formwork ...

This report provides crash statistics for Longitudinally Tined (LT) Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) and Transversely Tined (TT) PCC pavement surfaces. The statistics were compiled for urban and rural freeways, classified ...

Over the past 20 years, extensive research has been conducted to study the causes and mitigation methods of bridge approach settlement or "the bump at the end of the bridge." Many Departments of Transportation are significantly ...
