Abstract: A theoretical approach is presented to describe the permanent deformation mechanism in asphaltic concrete subjected to traffic simulated dynamic loading. The approach is based on mechanical energy concepts and leads to a ...

Abstract: Proper introduction of silica fume in concrete improves both the mechanical and durability characteristics of the concrete. This paper presents the results of research effort conducted at the American University in Cairo ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of silica-fume concrete in resisting damage caused by corrosion of embedded steel has been investigated using an accelerated impressed voltage-testing setup. The silica-fume concrete included 0, 10, 15, ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the response of air-entrained concrete to aggressive chemicals. To better correlate to field practices, 60 concrete mixtures were prepared with three cement contents, ...
