    AASHTO Rigid Pavement equation

    I was wondering if the pavement thickness (determined using AASHTO Rigid pavement equation)has a direct relationship with the concrete modulus of elasticity. The concrete modulus of elasticity is estimated to be around 57000(f'c)^0.5. Therefore, the higher the compressive strength, the greater...

    Asphalt Compaction

    Mississippi DOT requires density between 92% and 95% of maximum density (AASHTO T 209)(which I believe most state agencies specify) for dense graded courses. How do you correlate maximum density determined using AASHTO T 209 vs. Marshall (75 blows) compaction density. FAA specs require 96.3%...

    Career change from CompSci to CE

    Hi,ryanjs. I'm fairly new to the field, but I am certain that your computer science degree would make a great asset if you decide to venture into transportation or water resources field. Both of these fields require extensive computer knowledge because of their inherent dynamic nature, and the...

    School Bus Parking Lot Design

    Hi, I have found a copy of AutoTurn, and am testing the templates. The research paper was an excellent guide to the geometric design. Thanks a lot! The concrete paved V-ditch is an existing structure. I initially thought about replacing it with vegetative cover to provide more room for...

    School Bus Parking Lot Design

    Hi, I have recently received a project to improve an existing gravel parking lot to a concrete paved parking lot. The school bus parking lot is approximately 4 acres, and require a capacity of roughly 200 bus lots. The typical bus dimension is 8'x35'.Does anyone know any standard or design...
