Strength and Microstructural Development of Reactive MgO–Blast Furnace Slag Solidified Sludge Subjected to CO2 Carbonation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Reactive magnesium oxide (MgO) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) are cementitious materials introduced into sludge solidification, which not only reutilizes solid waste but also reduces cement consumption. ... -
Eco-Efficient Concretes, with Diabase Powder, Optimized by Alfred and CPM Particle Packing Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The use of particle packing techniques, seeking to reduce cement consumption and partial replacement with stone powder, allows the production of eco-efficient concrete. The objective of the present work is the comparison ... -
Multi-Length-Scale Investigation of the Fatigue Behavior of Bituminous Composites: Experimental Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The fatigue behavior of bituminous composites was investigated at different length scales—bitumen, mastic, mortar, and asphalt mixture. The stress sweep test, as the initial test, and the dynamic modulus test, as the primary ... -
Tensile Creep of Alkali-Activated Slag–Stainless Steel Slag Mortar: In-Depth Analysis of Effects and Mechanisms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Despite the excellent mechanical and environmental properties of alkali-activated materials, the susceptibility to early cracking significantly limits their widespread application in engineering. Tensile creep plays a key ... -
Influence of Cellulose Ethers on the Carbonation Behavior of Cement Pastes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Cellulose ethers (CE) are generally used in cement-based materials as viscosity modifying admixtures. However, previous investigations scarcely focused on the effect of CE on the carbonation behavior of host materials. ... -
Experimental Investigation of Coal-Fouled Steel Slag Ballast–Granite Ballast Mixtures under Static and Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The performance of coal-fouled steel slag ballast (SSB), granite ballast (GB), and 60%SSB+40%GB (SSB60) mixture were assessed using direct shear and cyclic testing apparatus. Additionally, chemical composition, mineralogical ... -
Investigation of a Novel Method to Improve the Physical Properties of Recycled Concrete Aggregate for Asphalt Mixtures: Laboratory Characterization and Mechanisms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) often does not meet the requirements of aggregates for asphalt mixture due to the high water absorption and low strength caused by the adhered cement mortar. This study applied a novel ... -
Test Method to Evaluate the Tensile Performance of Hyperelastic Binders with Large Deformation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Airport pavements, especially runway holding positions, are susceptible to high shear forces and thus rutting damages under the coupling effect of heavy aircraft loads and high temperatures. Pavements produced with commonly ... -
Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of Graphene Oxide Modification of a Neat Asphalt Binder for Flexible Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Graphene oxide (GO) has the potential to increase the service life of asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures, but there are concerns about its high cost. The purpose of this work is to provide a methodology to perform a ... -
Thermal Insulation Performance of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete for High-Geothermal-Temperature Highway Tunnels
