  2. Runoff curve number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_curve_number

    The runoff curve number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. [1] The curve number method was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service , which was formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or SCS — the ...

  3. ACN-PCN method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACN-PCN_method

    The Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) – Pavement Classification Number (PCN) method is a standardized international airport pavement rating system promulgated by the ICAO in 1981. The method has been the official ICAO pavement rating system for pavements intended for aircraft of apron (ramp) mass greater than 5700 kg from 1981 to 2020. [ 1 ]

  4. Precast concrete lifting anchor system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precast_concrete_lifting...

    Applied load To determine the required anchor, the manufacturing plant handling and the site handling should be considered separately. Example: A thin walled rectangular section, 6.0 m long, 3.0 m wide and 150 mm thick is being considered to be edge lifted from a horizontal steel bed using an overhead gantry crane, and then lifted on-site using ...

  5. Concrete cone failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_cone_failure

    The tension failure loads predicted by the CCD method fits experimental results over a wide range of embedment depth (e.g. 100 – 600 mm). [2] Anchor load bearing capacity provided by ACI 349 does not consider size effect, thus an underestimated value for the load-carrying capacity is obtained for large embedment depths.

  6. International roughness index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_roughness_index

    The IRI is used in managing pavement assets, as well as sometimes in evaluating new construction to determine bonus/penalty payments for contractors or for identifying specific locations where repairs or improvements (e.g., grinding or resurfacing) are recommended.

  7. Fracture mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_mechanics

    Concrete fracture analysis is part of fracture mechanics that studies crack propagation and related failure modes in concrete. [17] As it is widely used in construction, fracture analysis and modes of reinforcement are an important part of the study of concrete, and different concretes are characterized in part by their fracture properties. [ 18 ]

  9. Pavement condition index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavement_Condition_Index

    The pavement condition index (PCI) is a numerical index between 0 and 100, which is used to indicate the general condition of a pavement section.The PCI is widely used in transportation civil engineering [1] and asset management, and many municipalities use it to measure the performance of their road infrastructure and their levels of service.
