NETC PROJECT 02-1 PROJECT TITLE: Relating Hot Mix Asphalt Pavement Density to Performance PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: Walaa S. Mogawer, UMass Dartmouth; Rajib Mallick, Worcester Polytechnic Institute; Jo Sias Daniel, University of New Hampshire PI Email: wmogawer@umassd.edu STATUS: Active ANTICIPATED COMPLETION: 9/30/2009 PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The objective of the proposed study is to determine relationship between pavement density and performance through testing of pavements at different levels of in-place density with accelerated pavement loading equipment and environmental simulation. Another objective is to use the obtained relationship to determine pay adjustments for different densities. NETC PROJECT 02-6 (Phase 2) PROJECT TITLE: Sealing of Small Movement Bridge Expansion Joints - Phase II: Field Demonstration and Monitoring PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Ramesh B. Malla, PI, and Montgomery T. Shaw, Co-PI, University of Connecticut PI Email: MallaR@engr.uconn.edu STATUS: Active ANTICIPATED COMPLETION: 7/31/2011 PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this NETC 02-6 (Phase 2) project is to test the behavior of the silicone foam sealant under various in-field conditions, make any necessary changes, and evaluate its performance while on an operating highway bridge in order to determine its cost effectiveness and durability. The project involves pre-field laboratory testing, field installation, post installation monitoring, report preparation, and specification preparation.
