Abstract:

Many highway agencies are transitioning from the 1993 AASHTO pavement design guide to the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (PMED). Pavement performance models embedded in the PMED software need to be calibrated for new and reconstructed hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. Twenty-seven newly constructed HMA pavements were used to calibrate the prediction models—twenty-one for calibration and six for validation. Local calibration for permanent deformation, top-down fatigue cracking, and the International Roughness Index (IRI) models was done using the traditional split-sample method. Comparison with t

Abstract:

Porous asphalt pavements allow designers to introduce more sustainability into projects and lessen their environmental impact. Current design procedures are based primarily on hydrologic considerations; comparatively little attention has been paid to their structural design aspects. As their use grows, a design procedure and representative material structural properties are needed to ensure that porous pavements do not deteriorate excessively under traffic loads. The objective of this project was to develop a simple, easy to apply design procedure for the structural design of porous asphalt pa

Abstract:

The AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures 1993 (1993 Design Guide) remains the most widely used pavement design manual by highway agencies and design consultants around the world. As defined in the 1993 Design Guide, the structural coefficient of a pavement layer ( ai) is an abstract measure of the relative ability of a unit thickness of a given material to function as a structural component of the pavement. Nevertheless, the assumed ai values of the asphalt layers and a proposed relationship between ai and the resilient modulus do not account for the mechanical and physical propertie

Abstract:

Pavement thickness design traditionally has been based on empiricism. However, mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design procedures are becoming more prevalent, and there is a current effort by AASHTO to establish a nationwide M-E standard design practice. Concurrently, an M-E design procedure for flexible pavements tailored to conditions within Minnesota has been developed and is being implemented. Regardless of the design procedure type, inherent variability associated with the design input parameters will produce variable pavement performance predictions. Consequently, for a complete design proced

Abstract:

Subgrade resilient modulus is highly dependent on water content, which can vary significantly with a number of seasonal environmental factors. Because the determination of seasonal resilient modulus is cumbersome, it is difficult to include environmental factors in pavement design. The use of a weighting factor for flexible pavement design to include the effects of monthly changes in the subgrade resilient modulus is described. The weighting factor, which was derived from Miner’s linear damage concept and the 1993 AASHTO design equation for flexible pavements, is used to designate a design sea

Abstract:

Unbound granular materials are generally used in road pavements as base and subbase layers. The granular materials provide load distribution through aggregate contacts to a level that can help the subgrade to withstand the applied loads. Several research studies have shown that unbound pavement layers exhibit anisotropic properties. Anisotropy is caused by the preferred orientation of aggregates and compaction forces. The result is unbound pavement layers that have higher stiffness in the vertical direction than in the horizontal direction. This behavior is not accounted for in the design

Embodied design is a response to what I know of landscape architecture. At the heart of this practicum lies the question of how to better connect the body, mind and environment. It is through the simple act of walking that I begin to uncover the body (both emotionally and physically) as well as the landscape(and all its many attributes). Through an investigation of the phenomenological body I attempt to dissolve dualistic thinking and get back to the lived experience, in turn creating a stronger connection to the sensuous world, as well as the people, plants and animals who we ultimately desig

Through two parallel explorations - one that considers an expanded and inclusive interpretation of landscape as the frame through which we engage with, and design, our surroundings, and one that examines the specific nature of this engagement as exchange between the self and the milieu - such an approach has been developed. This approach is called RECONNAISSANCE. Th

Abstract:

Knowledge Management consists of processes to capture, share, and effectively use knowledge. Knowledge capture means the process of development and creation of the knowledge, and formalization is an example of direct knowledge capture. Knowledge formalization refers to knowledge representation that is concerned with how to formally think and represent the domain of discourse, and ontologies are now in widespread use as a means of formalizing domain knowledge. Currently, several works using ontologies have been done to formalize knowledge in the manufacturing domain. However, these ontologies have not been shared, and the detail of the implementation of the ontology has not been explained clearly, and as such, the ontology cannot be reused and extended, making several tasks in developing ontologies, i.e., design, performance, annotating works, and applying the ontology, challenging. Therefore, the goal of this study is to formalize knowledge in the manufacturing requirements domain to standardize the engineering terms and analyze the usage of shared terms between products, enabling the ontology to be reused and extended. An ontology named as Product Structure Ontology (PSO) has been developed in order to standardize the engineering terms. PSO is represented by terms in manufacturing engineering, which relate to the product structure. These terms are structured as a hierarchical Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and have three main categories of knowledge, namely “product-specific knowledge,” “industry-specific knowledge,” and “generic term.” PSO annotation has been developed in order to analyze the usage of shared terms between products. The PSO terms and engineering product are related to each other to solve the problems of heterogeneity. The PSO development framework and artifact has been shared to enable the ontology to be reused and extended. The framework was designed based on Noy and McGuiness’s methodology and has been modified based on application requirements. Four artifacts have been developed and shared, which are website, browser, database, and documentation. The PSO website is a central platform to provide information about PSO. The PSO browser provides interface to represent the PSO and annotation and allows users to use the PSO tree to query the database. The PSO database contains PSO data in MySQL form and PSO documentation gives general information about ontology category, annotation, evidence code, and database guide.

Abstract:

The use of object-oriented (OO) architecture knowledge such as patterns, heuristics, principles, refactorings and bad smells improve the quality of designs, as Garzás and Piattini (2005) state in their study; according to it, the application of those elements impact on the quality of an OO design and can serve as basis to establish some kind of software design improvement (SDI) method. But how can we measure the level of improvement? Is there a set of accepted internal attributes to measure the quality of a design? Furthermore, if such a set exists will it be possible to use a measurement model to guide the SDI in the same way software processimprovement models (Humphrey, 1989; Paulk, Curtis, Chrissis, & Weber, 1993) are guided by process metrics (Fenton & Pfleeger, 1998)? Since (Chidamber & Kemerer, 1991) several OO metrics suites have been proposed to measure OO properties, such as encapsulation, cohesion, coupling and abstraction, both in designs and in code, in this chapter we review the literature to find out to which high level quality properties are mapped and if an OO design evaluation model has been formally proposed or even is possible.

Abstract Longitudinal vibration of a moving magnetic tape can be excited by frictional contact with a recording head, or with a guide that defines the path of the tape.

The response of a moving tape under such nonlinear dissipation is determined using new methods for the vibration analysis of axially-moving materials. In a particular transport speed range, longitudinal motion of the tape is self-excited through negative (unstable) damping f
