Investigation on Physical and Chemical Protecting Mechanism of SME-PS as a Concrete Surface Protectant
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soy methyl ester-polystyrene (SME-PS) is a biodegradable and nontoxic blend of soybean oil and waste polystyrene that can be used as a surface treatment to improve concrete deterioration and rebar corrosion caused by ...
Quantification of Desiccation Cracking and Strain Localization in Lime-Treated Compacted Expansive Soils Using DIA and DIC
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The present experimental study is focused on quantifying the initiation and propagation of desiccation cracking and strain localization in lime-treated compacted expansive soils subjected to controlled temperature and ...
Effect of Alkalis on Tricalcium Silicate Hydration with and without Incorporating Metakaolin
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigated the effect of alkalis on C3S hydration with and without incorporating aluminate phases. Pastes of 100% C3S and 90% C3S+10% metakaolin (MK) were prepared at 1%, 2%, and 3% Na2O content. X-ray diffraction ...
Curing Law and Strength-Age Prediction Model of a Dense Polyurethane Mixture under the Influence of Moisture and Temperature
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The strength development of pavement polyurethane mixture is primarily dependent on the degree of curing reaction of polyurethane adhesive. In this work, the effects of temperature, humidity, and curing time on the curing ...
Bridging Field and Laboratory Permeabilities of Pervious Pavement Mixtures Using XRCT-Based Numerical Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Drainage capacity of pervious pavement mixtures is commonly measured using a falling head permeameter at hydraulic heads much higher than expected in the field. Recent advancements in computational fluid dynamics (CFD)– ...
Effect of High-Density Polyethylene Pyro-Oil Modification on Chemical, Rheological, and Damping Properties of Binders
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Plastic waste is harmful to the environment and takes thousands of years to decompose naturally. Pyrolysis is an effective method of plastic waste management, and the oil obtained from the process can be used as a modifier ...
Field-Simulating Laboratory Aging Procedure for Bituminous Mixtures in Tropical Regions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study emphasized binder aging of bituminous mixtures in the field and compared it with newly developed field-simulating laboratory aging procedures. Monthly field cores from a pavement section were collected for this ...
Properties of Fly Ash Geopolymer Concrete as Marine Artificial Reef Building Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The twenty-first century is known as the “century of the ocean.” Artificial reefs have been extensively studied and used worldwide as the main infrastructure of marine pastures. At present, research has been primarily ...
Experimental and Analytical Study of the High-Strain Rate Flexural Behavior of SFRC
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) with hooked-end steel fibers was created for use in urban furniture to protect against blast and impact loads. Due to the variety of impact loads that these structures may experience, ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Ballistic Impact Response of Polymethylmetacrylate
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: For understanding characteristics of polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) under impact, the damage behavior of PMMA plates with various thicknesses (1.5 to 6.0 mm) subjected to ballistic impacts with various velocities (63 ...
