Early opening of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements to traffic
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-09)This report presents the results of a detailed stress analysis and a field and laboratory test program which investigated the early-age strength gain for selected portland cement concrete (PCC) paving mixtures used in ... -
The effect of fine aggregate angularity, asphalt content and performance graded asphalts on hot mix asphalt performance
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2003-10)The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has implemented the Superpave recommendations in the 2000 Supplemental Specifications. This research was directed towards better understanding of the influence of ... -
The Effect of Fluid Properties on the Physical Behavior of Adiabatic Annular Two-Phase Flow
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2003)Three separate experimental facilities were used to explore the mechanics of both vertical and horizontal annular flow. The first facility described was a low-pressure two- phase refrigerant facility with a horizontal, ... -
Effect of pavement thickness on Superpave mix permeability and density
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-04)This research study was conducted to determine the influence of maximum aggregate size, lift thickness, and aggregate source on the density and permeability of asphalt mixtures designed according to the Superpave criteria. ... -
The Effect of Surface Characteristics on Contact Line Motion in Immersion Lithography
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2005)Optical lithography has been the technology of choice in the semiconductor industry for decades. As the industry progresses, new methods are sought to manufacture smaller and faster integrated circuits. One possible ... -
Effective implementation of the design-build delivery system on transportation projects
(Midwest Regional University Transportation Center, 2008-08)The use of design-build project delivery systems today is popular for delivering commercial, industrial, and institutional construction projects and is increasingly used on transportation projects. While some states have ... -
Effectiveness and performance of crack sealants for bridge decks (implementation project)
(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 ... -
Effectiveness of a community traffic safety program
(2000)The Safe Roads program is a comprehensive community traffic safety program providing resources, training, and hands-on assistance for the development of education, enforcement, and engineering initiatives toward traffic ... -
Effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilizing soft subgrades
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-12)This report introduced the research begun in 1999 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to further understand aspects of geosynthetic-reinforced subbases in a pavement system. To learn more about how the performance of ... -
Effects of aggregate coatings and films on concrete performance
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2003-04)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 ... -
THE EFFECTS OF EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION ON COMBUSTION AND EMISSIONS IN AN AIR-COOLED UTILITY ENGINE
(2009-07-08)Among other requirements, small air-cooled utility engines must maximize power-toweight ratio. A means of meeting this requirement is to optimize the gas exchange process by utilizing cam shafts that complement high ... -
Effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag in Portland cement concrete
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-02)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 ... -
Effects of ground granulated blast furnace slag in Portland cement concrete : expanded study
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2007-06)This research examined the properties of concrete containing grade 120 slag cement at replacement levels of 0%, 30%, and 50%. The primary concrete properties studied were compressive strength, split-tensile strength, and ... -
Effects of heavy loading on Wisconsin's concrete pavements
(Wisconsin Highway Research Program, 2005-05)Wisconsin DOT District 7 filed a Report of Early Distress for a 6.5-mile stretch of USH 8 and an 8-mile stretch of USH 51 near Rhinelander in 2001. An investigation of the causes for the premature failures concluded that ... -
The Effects of Intake Charge Stratification on HCCI Combustion
(2009-07-08)A laboratory was constructed to investigate what effects could be generated in an HCCI engine by altering the properties of the engine?s intake charge. The principle changes investigated were altering the spatial ... -
