The study examines the perceptions and preferences of passengers on interurban rail and bus and compares the preferences
of passengers on both these modes. This is carried out to identify where passengers feel changes are ...
This paper presents the results of an investigation into the fatigue performance of a 20mm Binder Course Asphalt Pavement Mix incorporating Recycled Asphalt Pavement
(RAP). For the study, a series of binder course mixes ...
The objective of the current paper is to examine how group learning and cooperative learning are used in civil engineering courses. The paper defines group learning and cooperative learning in the first section. It is ...
This paper presents the results of ongoing research on the mechanical performance of a 20mm binder course asphalt pavement mix incorporating recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). A series of binder course mixes were designed ...
Secondary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) are used in increasing quantities in concrete practice internationally. While these materials offer benefits such as reduced CO2 ...
The corrosion of European concrete highway structures leads to traffic disruption, significant expenditure on remedial works and ultimately threatens to impact on European competitiveness. A potentially more efficient ...
DIRECT-MAT is a three-year European project aiming to facilitate the sharing of national experiences on dismantling and recycling or safe disposal of road and road related materials at the European level. It was initiated ...
Soil nailing is being used in many projects in glacial tills in Ireland, particularly to provide
temporary support to steep slopes. Little design guidance is available for such materials and it
is known that application ...
The depletion of natural resources, the requirement for sustainable development and environmental restrictions, such as those associated with the Kyoto Agreement, makes the re-use of waste materials increasingly important ...
Advances in surface-applied corrosion inhibitors suggest that they have the potential to prevent or significantly retard corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete structures. It is thought that the effectiveness of the ...
