Numerically Modeling Steel Continuous Bridges for Early Age Concrete Deck Cracking
… The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) has experienced early age bridge deck cracking. ARDOT currently specifies a sequence deck pour on most of their bridges; however, contractors prefer continuous deck pours because of ease and construction time. During the period of this …

Auto-Calibration of WIM Using Traffic Stream Characteristics
… by the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT). Typical auto-calibration algorithms compare the WIM measured weights of vehicles from the traffic stream to reference values, using five-axle tractor-trailer configured trucks for comparisons, e.g. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Class …

The Development of Initial Asphalt Mixture Acceptance Criteria Using the SCB test and the I-FIT Test
… from Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) projects that had been paved and distress surveys completed on. The mixtures fell into three categories, Poor, Fair, and Good cracking performance. After testing in the lab, the Flexibility Index (FI) values statistically grouped into three …

Study of Internal Strains Developed in Concrete Decks at Early Ages in Steel Continuous Bridges
<p>The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) has identified bridge deck cracking shortly after concrete decks are placed and prior to applying traffic loads. Previous researchers have confirmed improper construction practices and design methods can lead to deck cracking. Currently, many …

Cement Stabilized Crushed Stone Base Course Strength and Stiffness Analysis
… strength of CSCSBC for use in Arkansas DOT (ARDOT) projects. This research is not focused on the benefits or disadvantages of 1993 AASHTO to MEPDG, and instead will only be focused on the inputs of both. </p> <p>A range of tests were performed to characterize the strength and stiffness of a …
