A computerized system that contains knowledge about materials related activities for highway concrete structures has been developed. The system, named HWYCON (HighWaY CONcrete), was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD. HWYCON was developed for the Strategic Highway Research Program's Project C-206, 'Optimization of Highway Concrete Technology'. The knowledge contained in HWYCON consists of facts, rules of thumb, photographs, drawings, and bibliographic references. The system is designed to assist highway departments in diagnosing distresses, selecting materials, and making repair and rehabilitation decisions related to highway concrete pavements, bridge decks, and bridge substructures. The document was written to identify the contents of the HWYCON implementation package, and to provide information on the requirements and installation of the computerized system. |
