ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Effects of Concrete Composition on Resistance to Microbially Induced Corrosion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Microbially induced corrosion (MIC) is a process that can take place in concrete sewers, septic tanks, and transfer stations and can result in concrete deterioration. MIC is attributable to the microbial oxidation of ...
Special Section on Advances in Internally Cured Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Water Transport in Concrete Damaged by Tensile Loading and Freeze–Thaw Cycling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In service, concrete can develop cracks or microcracks that can influence the transport of liquids and ions. This paper describes an investigation of fluid transport in concrete damaged by tensile loading or freeze–thaw ...
Experimental and Numerical Quantification of Plastic Settlement in Fresh Cementitious Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the plastic settlement of mortar is analyzed on the basis of small strain consolidation theory and the approach is compared with experimental data. The amount of settlement caused by the self-weight of bulk ...
Shrinkage Cracking of Restrained Concrete Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The goal of this investigation was to better understand and predict early-age shrinkage cracking in restrained concrete structures. The threefold aim of this study included: (1) the development of test methods to assess ...
Assessing Damage in Corroded Reinforced Concrete Using Acoustic Emission
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The acoustic emission (AE) behavior of reinforced concrete beams tested under flexural loading was investigated to characterize and identify different sources of damage including microcrack development, localized crack ...
Influence of Specimen Size/Geometry on Shrinkage Cracking of Rings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents experimental evidence to show that a size/geometry dependence is observed in the shrinkage cracking behavior of restrained concrete structures. A theoretical model is developed to explain this behavior. ...
Predicting Shrinkage Stress Field in Concrete Slab on Elastic Subgrade
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete is a material that changes volumetrically in response to moisture and temperature variations. Frequently, these volumetric changes are prevented by restraint from the surrounding structure, resulting in the ...
