Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields focuses on issues pertaining to the bearing capacity of highway and airfield pavements and railroad track structures and provided a forum to promote efficient design, construction and maintenance of the transportation infrastructure. The collection of papers from the Eighth International Conference on the Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields (BCR2A09) includes contributions on a variety of topics and will be of particular interest to academics, researchers, and practitioners involved in geotechnical, pavement, and railroad engineering disciplines. It is primarily concerned with the many issues pertaining to the bearing capacity and mechanistic based design of highway and airfield pavements and railroad track structures.
Internationally, much attention is given to bearing capacity challenges of highway and airfield pavements and railroad track structures. The Eighth International Conference on the Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields (BCR2A09), held in Champaign, Illinois on June 29-July 2, 2009, focused on issues pertaining to the bearing capacity of highway and airfield pavements and railroad track structures and provided a forum to promote efficient design, construction and maintenance of the transportation infrastructure. This book is a collection of papers from the Conference, and includes contributions on a variety of topics:
Subgrade Soils
Granular Materials
Asphalt Mixtures
In-situ Measurement Techniques & Developments
Modeling & Methods of Functional Testing
Backcalculation Analyses of Deflection Measurements
New and/or Innovative Techniques in Compaction & Construction
Structural Evaluation & Performance Prediction
Structural Design Systems for New Construction & Rehabilitation
Bearing Capacity Designs for Challenging Conditions & Load Effects
Bearing Capacity Designs for Climatic Conditions
Reinforcement of Structural Layers
Utilization of Recycled Materials
Railroad Track Structures
Full-Scale Testing
Case Histories
Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields is particularly of interest to academics, researchers, and practitioners involved in geotechnical, pavement and railroad engineering disciplines and concerned with the many issues pertaining to the bearing capacity and mechanistic based design of highway and airfield pavements and railroad track structures.
