Book Description
This report contains 27 papers that serve as a testament to the state-of-the-art of civil engineering at the outset of the 21st century, as well as to commemorate the ASCE's Sesquicentennial. Written by the leading practitioners, educators, and researchers of civil engineering, each of these peer-reviewed papers explores a particular aspect of civil engineering knowledge and practice. Each paper explores the development of a particular civil engineering specialty, including milestones and future barriers, constraints, and opportunities. The papers celebrate the history, heritage, and accomplishments of the profession in all facets of practice, including construction facilities, special structures, engineering mechanics, surveying and mapping, irrigation and water quality, forensics, computing, materials, geotechnical engineering, hydraulic engineering, and transportation engineering. While each paper is unique, collectively they provide a snapshot of the profession while offering thoughtful predictions of likely developments in the years to come. Together the papers illuminate the mounting complexity facing civil engineering stemming from rapid growth in scientific knowledge, technological development, and human populations, especially in the last 50 years. An overarching theme is the need for systems-level approaches and consideration from undergraduate education through advanced engineering materials, processes, technologies, and design methods and tools. These papers speak to the need for civil engineers of all specialties to recognize and embrace the growing interconnectedness of the global infrastructure, economy, society, and the need to work for more sustainable, life-cycle-oriented solutions. While embracing the past and the present, the papers collected here clearly have an eye on the future needs of ASCE and the civil engineering profession.

Book Description
This volume includes a collection of research and practical papers from an international research and technology activities on recent developments in pavement design, modeling and performance, and effects on infrastructure, green energy, technology and integration. Sustainability is increasingly a key priority in engineering practices. With the aging transportation infrastructure and renewed emphasis on infrastructure renovation by transportation agencies, innovations are urgently needed to develop materials, designs, and practices to ensure the sustainability of transportation infrastructure. The volume is based on the best contributions to the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The official international congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE).

Book Description
The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) recommended use of the SHRP gyratory compactor in lieu of the traditional Marshall or Hveem compactors in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) design process. The SHRP gyratory compactor is claimed to produce laboratory HMA specimens similar in aggregate orientation and compaction level to those cored from actual pavement as it is placed in the field. This study addresses the evaluation of different compaction methods for asphalt concrete mixes with 12.5 and 19.0 mm nominal maximum size aggregate used in Ohio for pavement with heavy traffic volume. This evaluation of mixes was based on testing of laboratory prepared asphalt concrete specimens. Six asphalt concrete mixes were compacted using SHRP gyratory compactor and twelve using Marshall compactors. Three types of Marshall compactors were used, namely, mechanical, manual, and rotating base-slant foot. Project variables included maximum nominal size aggregate and aggregate type. Properties of the produced asphalt concrete mixes were evaluated based on the results of applicable tests that were performed. It was concluded that current Ohio heavy traffic volume mixes, when prepared using the SHRP gyratory compactor, will have lower design optimum asphalt cement contents as compared to those determined by using the traditional type of compaction. The percentage of reduction is dependent on the maximum nominal size of the aggregate and is lower for mixes with 19.0 mm nominal maximum size aggregate than for mixes with 12.5 mm nominal maximum size aggregate. Due to the fact that certain types of distress prevalent in Ohio are sensitive to asphalt cement content, it was recommended that the current optimum asphalt cement content be retained in order to maintain Ohio pavement durability and long-term performance.
