Full scale laboratory testing of replacement orthotropic deck for Verrazano Narrows Bridge

A prototype of a new asphalt compactor termed "asphalt multi-integrated roller (AMIR)" was built as a joint venture between the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) and a Canadian manufacturer, Lovat Tunnel Equipment, Inc. The purpose of this project was to prove this new compaction concept in a full-scale environment. This paper describes one of the field trials carried out on the campus of the NRC and reports the results quantifying the quality of the AMIR compaction. Key words: compactor, asphalt mix, field trials, laboratory testing.

Fretting Damage

The work is part of the search for a technique to study the fretting properties of the cladding of fuel rods in nuclear reactors. The strategy is to compare the fretting scars of specimens tested in a near-full-scale, nonradioactive simulator (so called fuel assembly endurance test) with scars on specimens tested under well controlled conditions in the laboratory. By systematic variations of the laboratory testing parameters it has proved possible to achieve scars with the same type of damage characteristics as those from the fuel assembly endurance test. This makes it possible to estimate, by deduction, the parameters that cause fretting damage under actual service conditions in a reactor.
