Transportation Infrastructure Engineering, Materials, Behavior and Performance: Proceedings of the 6th GeoChina International Conference on Civil and Transportation Infrastructures: from Engineering to Smart and Green Life Cycle Solutions -- Nanchang, Chi

"Society needs to travel to engage in productive and effective commerce, social, educational and related activities. Efficient travel is founded on an operational transport infrastructure system that is well-designed, engineering, constructed and maintained. This volume shares some of the latest innovations and thoughts in the areas of pavement infrastructure materials, behavior and performance. Access to this volume should enable the reader to gain an understanding of such novel information that should support improvements in the provision of an effective road transportation system for the benefit of the greater society served by the road network. The content is based on the contributions to the 6th GeoChina International Conference on Civil & Transportation Infrastructures: From Engineering to Smart & Green Life Cycle Solutions -- Nanchang, China, 2021."-- Provided by publisher Introduction Contents About the Editors Conservation Planning of Road Construction Raw Materials - Satara a Case Study 1 Introduction 2 Literature Survey 3 Field and Laboratory Investigation 3.1 Collection of Waste and Conservative Materials from the Study Area 3.2 Experimental Setup and Laboratory Investigation 4 Analytical Investigations 5 Results and Discussion 6 Conclusions References Critical Pavement Response Analysis Under Overloading for Design of Low Volume Rural Roads 1 Introduction 2 Literature Review 3 Methodology 3.1 Field Investigation Survey 3.2 Input Parameters for Varying Subgrade 3.3 Input Parameters for Varying Pressure Intensities 3.4 Creating Design Charts 4 Results and Discussion 4.1 Analysis of Varying Subgrade 4.2 Analysis for Varying Pressure Intensities 4.3 Design Charts 5 Conclusions References Impulse Compaction 1 Introduction 2 Historic Development of Impulse Compaction 3 Technical Description of Impulse Compaction 3.1 Components and Equipment of an Impulse Compactor 3.2 Additional Attachments for Impulse Compactor 3.3 Other Applications and Combinations 3.4 Predrilled Stone Columns 4 Limits of Standard Impulse Compaction 5 Documentation and Quality Control 6 Case Studies (from Construction Reports) 6.1 Breuninger Storage Hall in Sachsenheim, Germany 6.2 Jaguar Europe Center in Nitra.
