Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings: A Guideline, a new adaptation of ASCE Standard 11-99, Guideline for Structural Condition Assessment of Existing Buildings, provides current suggested guidelines on building condition assessments for selected materials and other areas related to the structural performance of existing buildings.

Topics include

• Assessment procedure,
• Structural materials assessment,
• Evaluation procedures and evaluation of structural components and systems,
• Reporting on structural condition assessment, and
• Common building materials.

MOP 158 was created to reformat the original ASCE 11-99 guidelines into a more user-friendly, accessible format for utilization by qualified professional structural engineers and regulatory officials concerned with existing structures.

The idea of utilizing waste plastics in the construction of asphalt pavements, also referred to as “flexible pavements,” has been a major topic of discussion in the global conversation regarding the reduction of global environmental impacts from waste plastics. Pilot studies with initial data regarding this area of study are now emerging. Roadmap for Repurposing Waste Plastics in Asphalt Mixes provides a brief overview and summary of recent findings from studies observing treated and untreated waste plastics in asphalt mixtures and pavements.

Topics include

• Basic definition of waste plastics;
• Chemical and rheological evaluations of waste plastic modified binders;
• Future life cycle assessments; and
• Gaps of knowledge, challenges, and recommendations for future study.

This report represents a starting point in compiling, discussing, and analyzing early data on waste plastics in asphalt pavements, which can inform policy makers, industrial professionals, and researchers on next steps regarding the direction of future research, policy, and procedures.
