Soil suction (i.e., negative pore-water pressure) measurements are essential to predicting and verifying the behavior of an unsaturated soil. Some difficulties were encountered with soil suction measurements made using earlier versions of thermal conductivity soil suction sensors. An improved thermal conductivity sensor has been developed at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada, Th…
This work present the main types and features of rigid and flexible pavements built over Brazilian bridges and viaducts as well as stresses and strains developed on them according to Legal Brazilian Load. In this paper, it is shown a special report about binding layers between rigid pavement and its special foundation . It is also discussed on Brazilian bridges, why preference for flexible pave…
