Automated pavement data collection technologies have gained momentum due to the fact that the automated data have more detail, greater quantity, better quality, and better repeatability. A systematic method of developing performance and distress m...
Engine oil functions as the lifeblood of engine providing lubrication, and protecting the engine against failure and corrosion (Barnes et al. 2001; Basu et al. 2000). Engine oil samples are analyzed to determine the condition of oil and supervise ...
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are an important source of material that can be used in construction to mitigate the problems associated with use of virgin aggregates. The volume of waste generated by the construction industry is increasing at ...
Pavement networks are among the most valuable highway assets for a nation asbillions of dollars have been invested every year in construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation. These networks undergo deterioration over time due to traffic loading, ...
Large quantities of concrete residual slurries, solids, and liquids are currently being produced from hydrodemolition, diamond grinding, and diamond grooving operations within North Carolina. North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and...
Previous literature of distracted driving and inattention has found that secondary tasks not associated with the task of driving increase vehicular accidents and near miss accidents. Distracted drivers are comparatively different to non – distract...
Advancements in digital technology within the construction industry have significantly impacted the way in which the built environment comes to fruition. The use of 4D technology provides enhanced communication of the plan of action established by...

Description
The increase in impervious surfaces accompanying urban development in the recent decade has caused an increase in the volume of stormwater runoff and pollutant loads flowing downstream to receiving waters. In response to increased volumes of impai...
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) is a tool developed by NCHRP used to aid engineers in pavement design and performance analysis. MEPDG is currently incorporated into the software program AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design. The so...
The NCDOT Ferry Division (NCDOT-FD) self-performs preventative maintenance, emergency maintenance, and scheduled overhauls on a continual basis with manpower staffing to support the North Carolina Ferry Service’s (NCFS) ability to continue to oper...
As the building industry in the United States rapidly expands, the reuse of recycled demolition waste aggregates is becoming increasingly more important. Currently, the building industry is the largest consumer of natural resources. The constant u...
ABSTRACTJESSE M. MALLARD. Exploration of how Building Information Modeling (BIM) and visual data is used within the Architectural Engineering and Construction (AEC) Industry currently to assist in closing the knowledge gaps between Owners and Desi...
A Bridge Management System (BMS) can be used for both storage of data and to provide decision making tools for maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation (MR&R) needs and cost forecasting. The North Carolina Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT) BMS...
