RISPullout Resistance of Tapered Metal Straps in Fills with High Fines Contents
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mechanically stabilized earth-retaining walls (MSEWs) have been widely used in construction and transportation projects. Most codes and guidelines require that the soil used as backfill for MSEWs have fines contents lower ...
Triaxial Testing of Naturally Cemented Carbonate Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cemented carbonate (calcarenite) soils obtained from the North West Shelf of Australia were subjected to conventional and stress‐path triaxial tests. Natural calcarenite specimens were found to have wide variations of dry ...
Temporal Homogenization Modeling of Viscoelastic Asphalt Concretes and Pavement Structures under Large Numbers of Load Cycles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to introduce a highly efficient computational model compared to the current cycle-by-cycle simulation strategy to compute the viscoelastic responses of asphalt concretes and pavement structures under large ...
Free-Falling Penetrometers: A Laboratory Investigation in Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of a series of laboratory model free-falling penetrometer (FFP) tests in kaolin clay. A thin-shafted FFP has been allowed to free fall and has also been pushed at a relatively slow constant ...
Discussion of “<i>Specimen Size Effect in Simple Shear Test</i>” by M. Vucetic and S. Lacasse (December, 1982)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Properties of Artificially Cemented Carbonate Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Naturally cemented materials often have inherent variabilities in density and degree of cementation. The influence of this variability on the properties of cemented materials is investigated by producing artificially ...
Model Tests on Multi-Tube Production Risers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Model tests carried out at 1/14.5 scale on two production risers in a towing tank are described. One of the risers considered is modeled on that used in the Buchan field, while the other ...
Evaluation of Moisture Sorption and Diffusion Characteristics of Asphalt Mastics Using Manual and Automated Gravimetric Sorption Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the most important factors influencing the durability of asphalt mixtures is moisture-induced damage resulting from the presence and the transport of moisture in pavements. Moisture-induced damage is an extremely ...
Properties of Polymer Modified Bitumen after Rubber-Bitumen Interaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes results from a laboratory investigation into the effects of the interaction between a styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen and recycled crumb rubber on the mechanical performance of impact ...
Linear Rheological Behavior of Bituminous Paving Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The linearity limits of various unmodified and modified bituminous binders, as well as asphalt mixtures incorporating these binders, have been investigated using a dynamic shear rheometer and a purpose-built, dynamic, ...
