RISNeural Networks Modeling of Stress Growth in Asphalt Overlays due to Load and Thermal Effects during Reflection Cracking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although several techniques have been introduced to reduce reflective cracking, one of the primary forms of distress in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays of flexible and rigid pavements, the underlying mechanism and causes ...
Structural Characterization of Iowa’s Rubblized PCC Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rubblization is considered one of the sustainable surface preparation techniques before placing a hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay that involves breaking the concrete pavement into pieces. The design of the structural overlay ...
Moisture Susceptibility of Subgrade Soils Stabilized by Lignin-Based Renewable Energy Coproduct
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sustainable use of biomass as a renewable source of energy can be an alternative solution to the cost of fossil-based energy and global warming. Production of biofuel from plant biomass results not only in bio-based energy, ...
Evaluation of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Rigid Airfield Pavement Cracking Failure Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) pavement thickness design software, FAA Rigid and Flexible Iterative Elastic Layer Design (FAARFIELD) uses bottom-up fatigue cracking as the only failure criterion in its rigid ...
Multivariate Life Cycle Cost Analysis Related to Fatigue Cracking in Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements Subjected to Superloads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A recent trend in pursuing high transportation efficiency has resulted in a significant change in the size and capacity of superloads, as well as variation in the size and capacity of implements of husbandry and superheavy ...
Effect of Water-to-Binder Ratio, Air Content, and Type of Cementitious Materials on Fresh and Hardened Properties of Binary and Ternary Blended Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of water-to-binder ratio (w/b), air content, and type of cementitious material on the fresh and hardened properties of binary and ternary blended concrete mixtures ...
Comparative Performance of Ground Clay Brick in Mitigation of Alkali–Silica Reaction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper reports on a study of waste clay brick that was ground and used as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in a mortar. The effect of this ground brick, in comparison with other conventional pozzolanic ...
Capillary Transport in RCC: Water-to-Cement Ratio, Strength, and Freeze-Thaw Resistance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water transport plays a critical role in the freeze-thaw (F-T) response of concrete. This work aims at appreciating various water transport parameters in roller-compacted concrete (RCC) for different pavement applications ...
Accuracy of Predictive Models for Dynamic Modulus of Hot-Mix Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Various models have been developed over the past several decades to predict the dynamic modulus
Effect of Paste-to-Voids Volume Ratio on the Performance of Concrete Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the minimum paste volume required with an appropriate water-to-cementitious ratio (
