Abstract:

This issue contains 10 papers on the subject of geology and properties of earth materials as related to transportation. The papers in Part 1 are concerned with the following issues related to road pavements: a Global Positioning System-inertial measurement unit for road alignment surveying; a snow melting model for hydronically heated pavement; location and groundwater impact on flexible airfield pavement thickness; and the structural response of urban subsurface drainage systems. The papers in Part 2 examine the following issues related to low-volume road pavements: road milling using diamond-enhanced or tungsten carbide teeth; the effect of natural gas developments with increased truck traffic on highways; making paving decisions with cluster and multicriteria analysis; and accelerated pavement testing of uncrushed aggregates in unsurfaced road applications. The papers in Part 3 are concerned with emerging technological approaches to analyzing rural highway projects and to the monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions of highway projects.
