Abstract: The pore size distributions of hardened cement pastes were studied in the research reported in this paper in order to investigate whether there was a relationship with the risk of freeze thaw related distress. Mercury ...

Abstract: Permeability is an important indicator of durability of cement-based materials. Surface treatment is a simple method to reduce the permeability of cement-based materials. This paper evaluates the air permeability of ...

Abstract: Compaction control for pavement foundations typically consists of determining the optimum water content and maximum dry unit weight from a Proctor test, and then specifies an acceptable water content and dry unit weight ...

Abstract: The construction of airport runways or other infrastructures on soft soil might risk damage and create potential hazards if inappropriate foundation treatments have been conducted. Preloading on soft soil is a commonly ...

Abstract: The cement paste attached to natural aggregates has a significant effect on the quality of recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) because it usually has higher porosity and lower strength than natural aggregates. This work ...

Abstract: Composite pavement structure is the main pavement structure type for airport runways worldwide. However, the damage features of composite runway pavement are different from both flexible pavement and rigid pavement. ...
