Simulation of Concrete Paving Operations on Interstate-74
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this paper was to study and optimize the concrete paving operations taking place in the reconstruction project of Interstate-74 using computer simulation. To achieve this objective, field data were collected ...
Machine Learning–Based Framework for Prediction of Retroreflectivity Degradation of Pavement Markings across the US
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pavement markings are essential traffic control devices that enhance safety for motorists during nighttime. Numerous statistical learning models have been developed in prior studies to predict the retroreflectivity of the ...
Effects of Paver Stoppage on Temperature Segregation in Asphalt Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Evaluation of Self-Healing Mechanisms in Concrete with Double-Walled Sodium Silicate Microcapsules
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate a new generation of self-healing materials that hold promise for better durability and performance. The in situ polymerization method was used to develop double-walled microcapsules. ...
New Approach to Compare Glare and Light Characteristics of Conventional and Balloon Lighting Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the increasing needs to adopt nighttime construction strategies in order to avoid disruption of traffic flow, state agencies are currently experimenting with a new class of light towers known as balloon lights. Compared ...
Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites with Raw Sugarcane Bagasse Ash Used as Sand Replacement
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigates the effects of raw sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) used as a partial or complete replacement for silica sand in engineered cementitious composites (ECCs). ECC mixtures with five different replacement ...
Self-Healing Efficiency of Cementitous Mortar Using Different Bacteria Protection Methods and Mineral Precursors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Concrete cracking provides a path for water and other detrimental agents into structures leading to accelerated deterioration. To address this issue, several bacterial self-healing technologies have been implemented. Even ...
Microencapsulated Sunflower Oil for Rejuvenation and Healing of Asphalt Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Microencapsulation of rejuvenators was introduced as a new approach to increase the efficiency of rejuvenators toward improving the self-healing rate of asphalt pavement. This study had two primary objectives: (1) to ...
Laboratory Testing of Self-Healing Microcapsules in Asphalt Mixtures Prepared with Recycled Asphalt Shingles
