Proceedings of Geo-Frontiers 2005, held in Austin, Texas, January 24-26, 2005. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 26 papers discussing material characterization, a perennial issue in pavement engineering. Topics include: in situ and laboratory testing of base, subgrade, and asphaltic materials; image analysis, both for characterizing particle shape for aggregates and for assessing compaction of in-place asphalt concrete; environmental aspects of material characterization, including the estimation of partially saturated material properties for soils and the influence of wet-dry cycles on stabilized base materials; modeling of the performance of the overall pavement structure and of the specific materials and layers comprising this structure; testing of geosynthetics and of reinforced pavement layers; modeling of reinforced layers to quantify the benefits of the geosynthetics; and case studies assessing the economic benefits from appropriate usage of geosynthetics in pavements.

A variety of factors—changing economic conditions, concern for historic preservation, emphasis on fully utilizing conveniently located structures, space shortages, and increasing cost of materials and products used in the construction of new buildings—has resulted in a need to evaluate and more fully utilize the existing building inventory. To this end, this Standard (an update of ASCE 11-90) provides the design community with guidelines for assessing the structural conditions of existing buildings constructed of combinations of material, including concrete, masonry, metals, and wood. This volume contains of an overview of preliminary and detailed assessment procedures, of materials properties and test methods, and of evaluation procedures for various physical conditions of the structure. This Standard will provide a much-needed resource standard for building condition assessment for selected materials and for other areas related to the structural performance of buildings. Professional engineers, building owners, and regulatory officials will find this Standard invaluable.

Blast Protection of Buildings provides minimum requirements for planning, design, construction, and assessment of new and existing buildings subject to the effects of accidental or malicious explosions. The Standard includes principles for establishing appropriate threat parameters, levels of protection, loadings, analysis methodologies, materials, detailing, and test procedures. It provides a comprehensive presentation of current practice in the analysis and design of structures for blast resistance. Commentaries on the requirements are also included. The Standard supplements existing building codes, standards, and laws, but is not intended to replace them.
