Impact of structure, material properties, temperature curling, and trafficking on load transfer efficiency
… temperature gradient and trafficking on load transfer efficiency of rigid airfield pavements. The current FAA mechanistic design procedure for rigid pavements assumes constant stress-based load transfer efficiency (LTE (S)) of 25% at the joints. The design procedure assumes the material …

Study of load transfer efficiency of airfield rigid pavement joints based on stresses and deflections
The concept of joint load transfer efficiency is very important and fundamental to Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) airfield rigid pavement thickness design procedures. The FAA procedure assumes 25% of stress applied to the edge is transferred to the adjoining slab. Moreover, since it is not …

Evaluation of bonded concrete overlays on asphalt pavements
… pavements. For each project site, 8 cores, 4 on joints and 4 in center of slabs were extracted which included concrete, asphalt layer, aggregate subbase and subgrade samples from each project. FWD testing, distress surveys, IRI, and ultrasonic MIRA testing was completed at each project location. …

BIOMECHANICS OF THE DISTAL RADIOULNAR JOINT WITH A MALALIGNED DISTAL RADIUS
… biomechanics, specifically the kinematics and loading of the distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ) before and after simulated distal radius malalignment would provide important new information to the treatment of these fractures. Furthermore, an investigation into the effect of soft- tissues would …

Noncontact sensing systems and autonomous decision-making for early-age concrete
… in concrete pavements reduces slab capacity, joint load transfer, ride quality, and its long-term performance. These premature distresses lead to increased maintenance costs for sealing, patching, and grinding. Proper timing of sawcutting and curing are two construction activities that can …
