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 ...

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 ...

The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the effect of compaction effort and temperature on densification of HMA in the field and in the lab, (2) quantify the effects of Warm Mix additives on the compaction, and ...

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 ...

This research examined the impact of cement replacements with Grade 100 ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) on portland cement concrete performance. GGBFS was used to replace 0%, 30% and 50% of cement in a series ...

Alternative methods for providing a stable platform over soft subgrades were evaluated using a 1.4-km section along a Wisconsin state highway that incorporated twelve test sections to evaluate nine different stabilization ...

The WisDOT sponsored study entitled: "Effects of Aggregate Coatings and Films on Concrete Performance", ID: 0092-00-07, found that clay coatings showed a deleterious impact in concrete compared with other microfine mineralogy ...

Coarse aggregates containing surface coatings were collected throughout Wisconsin and characterized to determine composition. Based on the results of these tests, a subset of the sample aggregates was selected to further ...

Soil/pile set-up is a time-dependant increase in pile capacity. Incorporation of soil/pile set-up in pile design often has considerable economic benefits, resulting from reduction in pile section, length, and/or size of ...
