Deflection-Coverage Relationship for Flexible Pavements

Description: Summary: "This study was conducted for the purpose of developing a relationship between elastic pavement deflection and pavement performance (number of traffic applications necessary to cause failure). Data for the study were taken from past studies of airfield and highway pavements. A summary of test conditions, failure criteria, and traffic type is given for each data source. A relationship was developed between elastic deflection and the number of coverages of traffic for combined airfield a… more

Drainage and Erosion Control Facilities: Field Performance Investigation

Description: Partial summary: "The drainage and erosion control facilities of 54 installations were observed to evaluate performance of surface and subsurface drainage systems, erosion control measures, and conditions of buried conduits and associated facilities. Although the facilities observed varied from only 1 to 30 years or more of age and it is recognized that basic demands have increased as well as the fact that design and construction procedures have been improved continuously, many of the old famil… more

Earthquake Resistance of Earth and Rock-Fill Dams, Report 2: Analysis of Response of Rifle Gap Dam to Project Rulison Underground Nuclear Detonation

Description: Summary: The motion of Rifle Gap Dam was measured in September 1969 during the Project RULISON underground nuclear explosion. The observed response was then compared with the response computed in a mathematical model. Observed and computed responses were similar. From this study it appears that the mathematical models used are applicable to the design and analysis of soil structures, at least for ground motion intensities comparable to those observed at Rifle Gap Dam. (p. xi).
