A Study of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide for South Carolina
… the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) with the development of an implementation strategy that will ultimately allow the SCDOT to take advantage of the advanced pavement design procedures incorporated in the MEPDG software. The MEPDG presents a major shift in pavement design …

Seismic Performance of Prestressed Pile-To-Bent Cap Connections
… in the pile-to-bent cap connection. As part of a SCDOT sponsored research project to study the seismic performance of precast prestressed concrete piles plainly embedded into cast-in-place bent caps, a full scale 3-pile bridge bent was constructed based on typical SCDOT designs and subjected to …

Seismic Performance of Prestressed Concrete Piles In Cip Reinforced Concrete Pile Caps
… loading is not well understood. Current standard SCDOT connection details require the plain embedment of the pile into the bent cap one pile diameter with a construction tolerance of ± 6 inches. To better understand the moment capacity and ductility of these connections, full-scale tests have been …

Behavior of Prestressed Pile to Bent Cap Connections and Damage Evaluation with Acoustic Emission
… created. The results showed that the current SCDOT state of practice performed inadequately with an undesired failure mechanism. Two design methodologies are presented which allow for full development of the embedded pile and thus moment transfer between the pile and bent cap elements. An …

Improving Wetland Mitigation in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina With the Watershed Planning and Mitigation Banking Aspects of the New Mitigation Rule
… owned by the S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT). The watershed assessment results showed that the wetland conditions in the watershed were 57% high, 24% medium, and 19% low (i.e. high indicating a good quality and low indicating a poor quality). The overall scores for the Black River bank …

Strength and Erodability of South Carolina Soils for Embankment Construction
… the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) Geotechnical Design Manual 2008.</p> <p>Nineteen pinhole tests were performed on all the soils which were suitable to run this test to evaluate the erodibility of the borrow pit soils. Based on the results, most of the soils were …
