摘要: |
This article highlights the accomplishments of three researchers at the Federal Highway Administration's Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center. Dr. Richard Livingston, Michael Adams, and Dr. Brian Chollar have made significant discoveries in the past year. Livingston devised a nondestructive method for measuring the curing of concrete by analyzing the energy spectrum and scattering of neutrons. Adams invented and patented an innovative approach to building bridge piers. Chollar developed three asphalt modifiers to enhance pavement performance: furfural modified asphalt, reactive compatibilizers for crumb rubber modified asphalt, and asphalt modified with fine mesh material. |
