Flood impacts were widespread, particularly across northern Colorado, where rockslides, landslides, mudslides and washouts caused major damage and, in some cases, total destruction of residences, roadways and local...

Description
Cold recycling technologies such as Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) are sustainable and cost-effective techniques for pavement rehabilitation. Previous research has found current mechanistic-empirical (M-E) default values to be non representative and overly conservative, leading to an underestimation of the true performance capabilities of FDR materials. To address this gap, this research analyzes the performance of 11 FDR sites constructed throughout...

This study investigates the dynamic modulus of Cold-in-Place Recycling (CIR) pavement material and its performance using pavement performance data, field testing, laboratory testing, and Pavement Mechanistic-Empirical Design Guide (PMED) software analysis. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has 37 projects with over 8 million square yards using CIR materials. Sites from ten projects were selected to monitor the performances, and collect...

Description
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) is a stable and highly flowable concrete that consolidates without the help of external vibration and can flow through heavy reinforcement and around corners in complex formwork under its own weight. The exceptional performance of this remarkable material has attracted the attention of construction firms and DOTs in the United States interested in using SCC on new bridge construction and bridge repair projects.
