An overall project was initiated to determine whether the use of micro-silica slurry as a supplementary cementitious material was significantly beneficial at creating a low permeability corrosion-resistant concrete, particularly from the inspection of the old parking garage at the Salt Lake City Airport. This report outlines the initial visual and

Accurate joint transverse faulting prediction is essential for proper pavement design. Departments of transportation are encouraged to evaluate, recalibrate, and even modify the faulting model if discrepancies between predicted and field measured faulting are observed. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) identified a series of p
