Abstract:
Construction project scheduling is one of the most critical factors for project success measurement. Critical Path Method (CPM) is commonly used in the construction industry for project scheduling. CPM is a deterministic method that ignores uncertainties in activities through the network, which determines the duration of the projects. Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a probabilistic method based on the assumption that the duration of a single activity can be described by a probability density function. PERT takes into account the uncertainties during the construction process to plan, schedule and control complex projects with many uncertainties. The work reported in this paper describes the PERT work process to carry out the construction schedule risk assessment and illustrates the model through case studies. The utilization in the estimate the construction liquidated damage with the uncertainties is performed, which also can be used in the insurance company to calculate the insurance premium.

Abstract:
The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) was developed and first used more than sixty years ago and is now well known. This technique allows taking into account the probabilistic nature of the work duration, so it is used for scheduling projects, where the duration of all or some of the works can not be clearly determined due to the high degree of uncertainty of the external environment in which such projects are carried out. However, the problem of controlling the terms of project activities and key events of the project based on the program evaluation and review technique has not been studied well enough. This article investigates the possibilities of applying the program evaluation and review technique to track and control the construction project schedule. An algorithm for using this method to predict the probability of timely occurrence of control points and completion of the entire project is presented.

Abstract:
Project delivery within the established time line and project cost is one of the persistent issues in current project management practices. This work therefore aimed at assessing the appropriateness of Project Evaluation Review Technique and Critical Path Method in project management with a case study of a UNN lecture hall construction. Consequently, the research establishes the impact of these quantitative operations research tools on the efficient project management. Both of these project management techniques were explained and used in relation to the data that was obtained from the lecture hall construction project manager, concerning the project activities and the time taken for each of these activities. As indicated by the findings of this study, both the methods were posited to achieve success in project management where by relationship and connectivity of the activities that define a project life cycle persist as the key issues. As such, it was suggested that in view of the project critical activities determined by the CPM and/or PERT analyses, more resources and attention should be directed towards effective management of such activities to avoid the occasion of project delay as well as ensure the successful completion of projects.

Abstract:
In this paper, fuzzy critical path method and fuzzy program evaluation and review technique are used to calculate the earliest project completion time for constructing a hydroelectric power plant project. Fuzzy trapezoidal numbers are used to estimate the activity time and determine the range of pessimistic to optimistic variation of time. Furthermore, the minimum and maximum times of project completion duration were calculated by using arithmetic operations and ranking of fuzzy trapezoidal numbers. These hybrid methods are able to deal with the limitations associated with classical critical path method and program evaluation and review technique. The fuzzy techniques were applied to network activities in a manner similar to the classical methods for optimizing the project completion duration, thereby minimizing the cost of the project. Analysis was carried out to determine the critical path through the use of fuzzy critical path method. The fuzzy program evaluation and review technique was also used to determine the probability of completing the project at a scheduled time. These two methods were then compared and the most probable scenarios were analyzed. Finally, it was concluded that fuzzy program evaluation and review technique is better than fuzzy critical path method and more efficient in terms of early project completion time.

Abstract:
The implementation of construction projects generally has a predetermined time limit. To achieve the time limit, planning and controlling are necessary. Planning can determine what work needs to be done and when it is done, what resources are needed, and what risks may arise. Clear activity targets can be identified for each activity. The case study in this research is Lettu Imam Building Construction Project in the OPD Office Complex of Pasuruan Regency. This study uses the Critical Path Method (CPM) to determine the work items passed through the critical path and the Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) to determine the probability of project success. The results of the analysis using the Critical Path Method are 14 work items that were on the critical path A1 - A2 - A3 - B1 - C1 - C2 - C3 - C4 - C5 - C6 - C7 - C8 - C9 - D1. And the result analysis using Project Evaluation and Review Technique has a project completion probability of 89.43% - 99.37%, with the project implementation duration being 162 - 164 days.

Abstract:
Project management and project scheduling are crucial to help development teams keep track of timing as well as resource allocation. In order to manage software projects, project managers need to anticipate, analyze the risk factors that may occur as well as their impacts on the progress of the project, and assess and adapt the project resource allocation. This paper concentrates on a quantitative approach for risk analysis in software project scheduling by taking advantage of Bayesian networks capacity (including related mathematical calculations) in modeling and assessing uncertainty and incorporates them in software project scheduling with program evaluation and review technique (PERT). Common risk factors in project scheduling are also examined, and a Bayesian networks model of 19 common risk factors and their causal relationships is proposed and confirmed. The research also borrows and implements categories and levels of risk from construction projects into software projects. A tool was built to experiment and validate the proposed model.

Abstract:
The objectives of this paper are to monitor and evaluate the practices on building construction project delivery among tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria, using appropriate standard methods adopting a survey design technique administered to 105 construction professionals with an 81% response rate. Multiple analytical techniques of descriptive and appropriate inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The results, using multiple logistic regression, reveal that benchmarking, earned value analysis, feasibility studies, key performance indicators, program evaluation and review technique, balance scorecard, and work breakdown structure significantly affected the delivery of building construction projects of the tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria. The study recommends that higher institutions in the study area should not relent in their M&E strategies for the continuous and timely delivery of building construction projects. Additionally, M&E techniques such as program evaluation review, work breakdown structure, and earned value analysis could be improved upon for enhanced delivery of building construction projects of tertiary institutions in Ondo State, Nigeria.

Abstract:
Construction development in Indonesia is being intensively carried out as a characteristic that Indonesia is a developing country. CV. X is a construction company that has a project in the form of ten shophouses with three floors. The projectis planned to start in August 2020 and be completed in December 2021 or for 68 weeks. The change of seasons becomes an obstacle in the work of the project that causes delays. Progress expected by CV. X in 2 months of project work is 8%, but the reality onthe project progress field is only 6%.Therefore, this study aims to optimize existing work time so that the delay can be overcome. The method used in this study is ProgramEvaluation and Review Technique (PERT) with rainfall as the probability.The results of the study found that the project work time can be optimized by 3% and delays can be overcome because the project completion time becomes 66 weeks.The project is still ongoing,so there is still a possibility of error, therefore effective project management must still be considered. Usually in similar studies the probability of time or cost, while in this study use rainfall as the probability.

Full text
Abstract:
Statistical Activity Cost Theory (SACT) is an axiomatic and statistical theory of basic accounting measurement practice. The aim of the SACT analysis, among others, is to determine the statistical nature of both the physical production system of an accounting entity and its related costs, which can then be examined and applied to various decision-making problems. A central proposition of SACT is that the physical system of the entity, and the costs related to this system, are separate structures which can be modelled as such. To date, however, mini- mal progress has been made in describing production process structures within the SACT framework, and nor have there been any advances made in applying common statistical techniques to such an analysis. This thesis, therefore, moves to extend the basic theory that has already been developed, presenting a novel method for representing and examining the physical processes that make up an entity's production system. It also examines the costing of these physical models, such that transactional data can be examined and related back to the underlying production processes. The thesis concludes by giving an example of such an application in a case study. The analysis developed in this thesis has been applied in a larger project which aims to produce generic modelling and decision tools, based upon SACT, to support return and risk management.

Abstract:
Many construction projects in the United States are facing the risk of cost overrun and schedule delays. This is also happening here in the State of Louisiana. When these things happen, it causes cost overrun which can then be passed on to the tax payers and may also cause the state to take on less projects than they normal. Many researchers have studied the reasons behind both the cost overrun and the delays resulting in private firms, developing project management tools and best practices to prevent this risk. In this research, I aim to study the historical trend in 2912 publically funded projects in the State of Louisiana. The study will reveal the overall state level of accuracy of forecasting cost and schedule. A forecasting formula based on those historical projects will be developed to assist estimators at the Parish level in predicting cost and schedule performance. The State of Louisiana has so many projects that deal with the transportation system (roadway, bridges, drainage, traffic sign, traffic signal, lighting etc...) My Dissertation will be a study and analysis of time and cost of the projects in LADOTD, whether the projects finish on time, before time or after time as well as the cost of the project that has been completed overrun or underrun or the exact amount that the bid amount was. With this study and analysis, my intention is to create time schedule and cost to be used to on reaching accuracy on finishing the project on time and the exact bid amount of the project (exclude whether condition, extra work, and some unexpected problems that may arise during the length of the project).

Abstract:
Organisations have evidently shifted towards the projectification of their activities and operations across the world and across industries by which project management is not only limited to construction and engineering projects anymore. The projectification has shed light on the amount of project success and failure in which both have been noted to have a steep difference between each other. Whilst many factors have been discovered to be a trigger of failure or success one emerging subject that has been gaining attention across management institutions and organisationsis the integration of knowledge management principlesinto the closure stage of a project, by which the term post-project review awakens. Post-project reviewsreceive a lot of attention and strong suggestion from textbooks and other academic literature, however it was found that its application was not as effective as is suggested by the literature. Literature also indicated that cultural operators within the events management have progressively applied project management tools and techniques. At the same time there is debate concerning theproject management rationale, which collide with the prime principles of art. Here art presents itself as the core focus pointforcultural operators. In the light of this argument the author started researching the subject of Post-project reviews within the events management industryand found that the subject has been scarcely researched overall, in the events management sector and especially in the cultural branch, hence the author had identified a research gap. Consequently, this research intends to explore the application of post-project reviews by cultural operators within the events management industry. The study employed a qualitative research design in which semi-structured interviews were conducted across three different organisational size segments; micro, small and medium. The organisational size was determined with the amount of employees per organisation; each size segment had two representatives in which all of the respondents ran a non-profit organisation.The research revealed that medium organisations employed the most formal manner of a PPR by which PPR’s are considered on a strategic level whilst micro organisations still used a simplerecord and report principle, in which none of the recorded numbers were formally analysed. At the same time, the comprehensiveness of a PPR was very much dependent on the size of the project, which denoted on the amount of funding, and external stakeholders there was involved.

Abstract:
Abstract The ripple-slow strain rate (R-SSR) technique is an alternative screening test to the conventional-SSR (C-SSR) method. Both methods assess susceptibility to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) of corrosion resistant alloys (CRAs) and involve loading a NACE TM0198-compliant tensile specimen to 100% AYS (0.2% proof stress of actual yield strength) at a slowly applied extension rate. While the C-SSR specimen is monotonically strained to failure, a R-SSR tensile specimen is typically loaded to 100% AYS and subsequently cycled between 80% and 100% AYS until failure or for up to 250 cycles or 1 week of exposure. This paper will provide a comprehensive review of the current understanding of the R-SSR technique. There are only a limited number of publications discussing the utility of the R-SSR technique, because running a R-SSR test is more complicated than a C-SSR test, and the added phenomenological/ mechanistic value of performing a R-SSR test is unclear. On the one hand, cycling loading may be more representative of certain in-field service conditions. On the other hand, there is evidence to suggest that cyclic loading facilitates film rupture during the tensile loading part of the cycle and repassivation of passive and/or protective film during load reversal, which may influence crack propagation. R-SSR may also be a better approach for martensitic stainless steels than C-SSR where cumulative strain in the conventional test may be detrimental to material performance. Regardless of the motivation, there is not a clearly defined and universally recognized acceptance criteria for assessing EAC resistance/ susceptibility by R-SSR. A pilot research program was initiated to better understand the value of results generated by R-SSR in comparison to C-SSR. For this study, mod13Cr-110 alloy was used to evaluate and benchmark the two techniques. The overall goal of the project was to provide guidance on when to use R-SSR and how to interpret the test results.

Abstract:
Abstract Engineering structures such as brick walls may start to weaken well before their projected service life due to environmental changes or natural disasters. This can result in untimely collapse of the structure. Mortar is used in construction for various purposes, including binding building materials together, creating a strong and durable foundation for structures, and filling gaps between bricks, stones, or other masonry units. Mortar is specified by proportions of certain volumes of cementitious material and sand combined with water that gives a workable mix. Earlier study shows that if a specific mix design (i.e. proportions of cement, sand and water) is followed, mortar with certain performance characteristics is reliably obtained. Workability is the most important property of mortar. It can be defined as the ability of the mortar to spread, under the small handheld tool (trowel), into all the cracks and gaps of the masonry unit. In mortar composites, the flaws on the micro-scale continue to spread, they eventually come together to create macro-cracks, which then continue to spread at the macro-scale level. In this study we will characterize/evaluate different types of mortar composites using ultrasonic guided waves and compare them to mechanical properties of mortar composites such as flexural and compressive strength. The ultrasonic guided wave propagation-based technique possesses special advantages since it can be effectively employed for large structures, suits for in-situ monitoring and is able to detect small damages/anomalies and change of state (wet mortar to dry mortar). However, when the ultrasonic guided wave propagation technique is employed for heterogeneous material like mortar composites, major challenge comes from the attenuation of the propagating wave. It has been reported that the nonlinear ultrasonic techniques are more sensitive than linear ultrasonic techniques to minute variations in the material properties. Thus, considerable attention is being paid recently to use nonlinear ultrasonic techniques for material characterization. Cement paste is the primary constituent of mortar that keeps all other constituents together and gives mortar composite its strength. During curing, the cement is developed as a binder by going through various chemical reactions. In this experimental study, ultrasonic guided wave testing is carried out on multiple mortar samples in transmission mode (also known as pitch-catch). The signals are generated using tuned ultrasound transducers. After the selection of optimal operational frequency (on the basis of signal to noise ratio). The obtained (or received signals) are processed to analyze the change in signal characteristics due to different types mortar composites. Nonlinear ultrasonic technique (NLU) called the SPC-I which is derived from the frequency spectra is deployed for extracting nonlinear features from the signal. Linear ultrasonic parameters such a shift in change in velocity are calculated and compared to nonlinear ultrasonic technique. Scanning Electron Microscopy images are used to evaluate curing process and are compared to nonlinear ultrasonic parameter SPC-I.

Abstract:
Abstract Ultrasonic Guided waves (UGW) are one of the most promising tools for SHM especially for thin-walled structures like composites by allowing fast inspection of a large area in-service conditions. However, for practical applications a quality assessment is necessary to estimate damage detection capacity and probability of the designed SHM system. Such evaluation of a general overview for an arbitrary structure is limited with experiments due to repetitive wavefield measurements. Validated numerical analysis tools must be used. In this work, validation study for a complex composite structure with Elastodynamic Finite Integration Technique (EFIT) will be presented. As reference model the measurement data coming from the Open Guided Waves Project (OGW) was selected. The dataset consists of measurements for two different cases called local and large stringer debond with additional baseline measurements. Within this contribution this experiment is reproduced by simulation using EFIT. Results show a good match between the experimental and simulated datasets, as the input parameters are fully determined prior to the simulations. The paper motivates further research, for example related to probability of detection analysis and numerical performance of the results.

Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the advantages of implementing an alternative technical review technique in an engineering design course. Historically formal design reviews associated with the Cornerstone Design course have utilized a Power Point type of presentation for evaluation of a design project status. A case study will be presented involving the use of a project summary report for a comprehensive design project review based on a Toyota management communication tool known as the “A3 Report”. The objectives for utilizing the this report format as an alternative to the presentation format were to require project team members to integrate their individual sub-system designs into their final system proposal, identify the critical aspects of their design, and prepare for detailed questions regarding their design. Conclusions and recommendations from the perspective of both the instructors and the students will be presented, including points of concern with the implementation.

Full text
Abstract:
The term living shoreline (LS) refers to the practice of shoreline stabilization using natural elements (e.g., vegetation, oysters, logs, etc.) in a way that maintains continuity and connectivity between terrestrial and aquatic habitats. This report provides a review of LS practices to assess the applicability of these engineering techniques for US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) projects. Specifically, this review examines the current state of knowledge regarding LS efforts through evaluation of peer-reviewed literature, agency reports, web tools, applications, and relevant guidance. It is important to gain a deeper understanding of the potential ecological, engineering, environmental, and socioeconomic benefits in comparison with traditional gray infrastructure shoreline stabilization techniques. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) encourages the use of LS as a shoreline stabilization technique along sheltered coasts (i.e., coasts not exposed to open ocean wave energy) to preserve and improve habitats and maintain their ecosystem services at the land–water interface. Research has examined aspects of LSs, but there are relevant knowledge gaps yet to be explored. Overall, there is a lot of information from different sources on LSs with limited application to USACE projects. Therefore, a consolidated planning and design consideration report specific to USACE is recommended.

Full text
Abstract:
Selective seam weld corrosion (SSWC) in autogenous welds is characterized by accelerated corrosion of or near the bondline which results in a groove-like feature that often coincides with shallower corrosion that can extend beyond the limits of the longitudinal seam. Historically, SSWC has been referred to as "grooving corrosion", "knife-line attack", or "trench-like corrosion". In 2021, the Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI) funded a project, PRCI Project EC-2-12, to evaluate SSWC as a threat to gas and liquid pipeline systems. The project included a literature review of key parameters influencing the likelihood of SSWC within a particular type of pipe over others, benchmarking of the key parameters using industry experience and data, and the development of a susceptibility process for the threat of SSWC within gas and liquid pipeline segments. From the literature review, a summary of hypothesized influencing parameters was compiled and those considered to more strongly and consistently indicative of susceptibility were identified as key parameters (e.g., longitudinal seam weld type, chemical composition of the plate material, and evidence of a post-weld heat treatment, etc.). The key parameters were then benchmarked against pipeline industry data from confidential as well as public sources. Industry data were collected for line pipe known to be susceptible to the threat of SSWC (i.e., SSWC has been identified within it through direct examination and/or metallurgical analysis). Additionally, mill test reports for line pipe manufactured prior to 1990 and historical line pipe manufacturing specifications that could indicate typical manufacturing practices of the time were collected and compiled. As a result of the benchmarking effort, some key parameters were confirmed, and others were dismissed if industry data indicated it was unlikely they could be relied upon to determine susceptibility to the threat of SSWC individually or in concert with other parameters. Key parameters confirmed as reliable through industry benchmarking and considered readily accessible to most pipeline operators informed the development of a SSWC susceptibility determination process. The process is comprised of 'swim' lanes that consider threat history, line pipe susceptibility, and environmental influences. The project also included an investigation into the Barnacle probe technique as a potential field deployable methodology to determine susceptibility to SSWC. Currently, it is the most common method to test for SSWC susceptibility in the field and is an electrochemical cell that attaches to the exterior of a pipe directly over the bondline after the surface has been properly cleaned. The linear polarization resistance (LPR) technique is used within the Barnacle cell to measure the polarization resistance of the bondline compared to the polarization resistance of the surrounding base metal. The ratio of the polarization resistances, which is a measure of the relative corrosion rates at the bondline and surrounding metal, provides an indication of how susceptible the bondline is to SSWC. The Barnacle probe technique was applied to materials with varying degrees of anticipated susceptibility. The results of the technique were benchmarked using accelerated dissolution tests to measure actual grooving ratios for the same range of materials.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the last few decades, in-place recycling of asphalt pavements has seen increased use by the highway industry, primarily to take a dvantage of potential cost and logistical savings compared to conventional reconstruction. More recently, the U.S. Navy and Federal Aviation Administration have allowed recycling to be used on airfields with lighter traffic. This report contains a discussion of in-place recycling design considerations obtained from a literature review of its use in the highway industry. Observations developed from a review of airfield pavement projects that have utilized recycling is also included. A structural analysis was performed using the Pavement-Transportation Computer Assisted Structural Engineering (PCASE) tool to determine typical stiffness values that recycled layers must achieve to support various types of military aircraft traffic for different pavement structures. Overall, in-place recycling is recommended for consideration as a rehabilitati on technique for military airfield pavements, and further investigation is recommended before it is implemented it into design guidance.

Full text
Abstract:
The primary means of corrosion control for buried pipelines is the use of an external pipeline coating and the application of cathodic protection (CP). Monitoring the effectiveness of the corro sion control system is critical to the safe operation of natural gas pipelines. NACE International has established criteria andrecommended practices for monitoring the effectiveness of CP systems (RPO169-96). These practices and criteria have generally been accepted by regulatory agencies. Over the years a significant amount of research has been performed that is related to monitoring practices. Much of this research has been directed at improving measurement techniques that are aimed at satisfying the NACE criteria. In general, no significant effort has been made to incorporate research into currently used monitoring practices. The overall objectives of this project were (1) to consolidate research previously performed on monitoring the effectiveness of cathodic protection of pipelines, (2) to analyze the different monitoring techniques in light of the research, and (3) to produce monitoring guidelines that describe the application of these monitoring techniques for typical natural gas pipelines. The scope of this project was limited to the review of previous work, both PRCI funded and the open literature, and discussions with industry personnel. No field work or laboratory experiments were conducted. This project was further limited to the review of methodologies related to monitoring the effectiveness of the CP system and does not include methods for evaluating coatings. The research project was divided into the following two tasks: Task 1 - Review of Research and Practices and Task 2 - Development of Guidelines. This work was a consolidation of research that has been performed by the PRCI and others over the past several years. This review took the individual monitoring techniques (on-potential, off-potential, depolarized potential, close interval survey, etc.) and applied them to the typical pipeline scenarios (poorly-coated line, well-coated line, foreign line crossing, area with dynamic stray current, etc.). Each individual monitoring technique is summarized in terms of purpose, description, application, limitations, special considerations, and equipment requirements. Each pipeline scenario is supported with composite and line maps and the guidelines for each scenario are described in terms of a general description, applicable techniques, special considerations, measurement procedures, measurement locations, measurement frequency, applicable criteria, and data interpretation.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate different de-identification techniques that may be used in several mobility-related use cases. To do so, four use cases have been defined in accordance with a project partner that focused on the legal aspects of this project, as well as with the VDA/FAT working group. Each use case aims to create different legal and technical issues with regards to the data and information that are to be gathered, used and transferred in the specific scenario. Use cases should therefore differ in the type and frequency of data that is gathered as well as the level of privacy and the speed of computation that is needed for the data. Upon identifying use cases, a systematic literature review has been performed to identify suitable de-identification techniques to provide data privacy. Additionally, external databases have been considered as data that is expected to be anonymous might be reidentified through the combination of existing data with such external data. For each case, requirements and possible attack scenarios were created to illustrate where exactly privacy-related issues could occur and how exactly such issues could impact data subjects, data processors or data controllers. Suitable de-identification techniques should be able to withstand these attack scenarios. Based on a series of additional criteria, de-identification techniques are then analyzed for each use case. Possible solutions are then discussed individually in chapters 6.1 - 6.2. It is evident that no one-size-fits-all approach to protect privacy in the mobility domain exists. While all techniques that are analyzed in detail in this report, e.g., homomorphic encryption, differential privacy, secure multiparty computation and federated learning, are able to successfully protect user privacy in certain instances, their overall effectiveness differs depending on the specifics of each use case.

Centre for Excellence and Development Impact and Learning (CEDIL), 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.51744/cip5.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent books about evaluations to study the quantitative impact of development programs and projects typically devote a chapter or two of the need to complement the analysis with other methods – specifically qualitative techniques. They often cite how qualitative techniques help explain the reason for positive or negative quantitative results. This is key if the one is to draw conclusions for accountability or for learning to improve future program design. Or they explain how qualitative work is critical to make sure that quantitative data are collected in the right way. Despite these textbook recommendations, there has been a wide range of experiences in how using both quantitative and qualitative methods have affected the overall quality of evaluations. In many cases, the qualitative analysis consists mostly of quotes to justify findings from the quantitative work. While this helps provide context, there is not much value-added beyond making the an otherwise ‘dry’ quantitative presentation more interesting. Some recent evaluations have begun to change this practice and have arguably improved the quality of impact evaluations in terms of their relevance, the inferences that are drawn from them and their applicability to policymakers and programme implementers. This includes the use of innovative techniques to form the specific evaluative questions being asked and tested, to gather the right type of data and information on outcomes and intermediating variables, to explain findings and to disseminate them to the appropriate decision-makers. This paper will review this work. It will canvass a purposeful sample of experts from a variety of disciplines to gather the success stories, and where apparently well-planned approaches have failed to add the value expected of them. It will then draw lessons for future evaluations as a basis for guidance on the use of mixed methods.

Abstract:
Full-depth reclamation (FDR) is a rehabilitation approach that can be readily applied to rapidly restore the structural capacity of heavily distressed or structurally deficient airfield asphalt pavements. This report presents a market survey of compact FDR construction equipment that could be deployed in contingency environments. Current equipment inventories from the US Air Force and Marine Corps were reviewed to identify gaps in terms of equipment for pavement reconstruction via the FDR technique. Additionally, a field demonstration was conducted to assess the effectiveness and productivity of FDR reclaimers on representative airfield asphalt pavements. A preliminary reconstruction process and a spreadsheet based calculator were developed to estimate construction times for the FDR technique. Examples of pavement reconstruction scenarios were generated to illustrate the FDR process as well as identify an approach with optimized construction times. The information in this report aims to assist in the implementation of reconstruction specifications for the FDR technique as applicable to expedient construction projects in contingency environments.
