Roadway Condition Survey Technologies: Past, Presence and Trend
Journal Title: Current Trends in Civil & Structural Engineering (CTCSE) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Modern highway infrastructure management is deeply involved with a data-driven process, both at project-level and network-level. The vast amount of data come from the roadway conditions. The roadway condition survey technologies have evolved from manual to automated. First, the survey technologies for roadway conditions in the past are reviewed. Second, the on-going popular 3-D technology is highlighted. Third, this article sheds lights on the future trend in the automated survey area involving both hardware and software aspects. Last, the relevant specification/ protocols involved in this area are briefly discussed.
Geotechnical Indications and Shallow Bearing Capacity Analysis within Lekki Peninsula, Lagos using Direct Shear Analysis
It has become imperative for a review of the subsurface engineering properties of the Lekki Peninsula due to increase in urbanization. The study focuses on the shear strength parameters and ultimately the shallow bearing...

The “Architect-Civil” Working Paradigm
The work of Architects and Civil Engineers overlap each other, although they may seem different in many aspects, job responsibilities, and tasks. The work of the civil engineer should follow the design of the architect w...
An Investigative Technique on the LBS Principals between Reinforcements and UHPC Containing Nano-Silica
Nowadays, Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is being widely applied although there is a vital need to meet the design requirements. The bond stress between Ultra-High-Performance Concrete and reinforcing steel bars...
About Climate Change
Humanity annually takes away more and more lands from nature: plowing it under crops, flooding it with hydroelectric power stations, concreting and asphalt cities and roads. The total area of such lands was 67% of the to...
