Evaluation of Galvanized and Painted-Galvanized Steel Piling
(ASCE, 2024/03/01)Corrosion is important in the design, maintenance, and preservation of bridge steel pile foundation systems. It is an inevitable phenomenon when steel is exposed to the environment, as metals tend to return to their lower ... -
Microstructural Examination of Black Seawater Mixed Sulfate-Resistant Cement Concrete
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The use of seawater as the mix water has been thought to be inevitable for the near future as a result of increasing water scarcity. Hundreds of papers related to seawater mixed cement-based materials were published in ... -
Tensile Property Changes in Polyvinyl Alcohol Fiber-Reinforced Engineered Cementitious Composites at Sub-Elevated Temperatures
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)As a high-performance composite material, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-reinforced engineered cementitious composites (PVA-ECCs) are often used in sub-elevated temperature environments (<200°C) for long-term service. ... -
Conversion from Shear Creep Compliance to Relaxation Modulus of Asphalt Binder Using Cauchy Residue Method and Experimental Validation
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The need for conversion between viscoelastic functions arises in that strain-controlled relaxation test is quite difficult to run than a stress-controlled creep test, especially on rigid sample and at low temperatures. A ... -
Recycling Off-Specification Fly Ash for Producing Strain-Hardening Cementitious Composites
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)This paper investigates the viability and advantages of incorporating off-specification fly ash (OSFA) into the production of strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC). Influences of variables in mix design on key ... -
Evaluation of Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Engineered Geopolymer Composites with Construction and Demolition Waste-Based Matrices
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)The main purpose of this work was to combine the advantages of increased material greenness, waste upcycling, reduced raw material demand, and the superior characteristics of traditional engineered cementitious composites ... -
Steel Corrosion in Concrete at the Marine Tidal Zone: The Roles of Crack Width and Organic Corrosion Inhibitors
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Organic corrosion inhibitors (OCI) have been widely accepted as a reliable method for enhancing the durability of marine reinforced concrete structures. However, the effect of OCI on steel corrosion is not clear in the ... -
Mechanical Characterization of Gypsum-Based Composites with Single-Use Sling Waste Fibers from Construction and Demolition Waste
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Construction and demolition waste (CDW) produced in a construction work site generates problems in its management. Among the CDW, we can find polymers, which create an added problem because of their slow decomposition, ... -
Performance Evaluation of Self-Tapping Screws for Use in Mass Timber-Concrete Composite Floor Connections through Withdrawal from Mass Timber and Concrete Media
(ASCE, 2024/02/01)Mass timber construction has seen a growing interest in North America and worldwide. In the US, code provisions allow mass timber buildings to be up to 82 m tall, but with floor slabs requiring a noncombustible, usually ... -
Enhancing Mechanical Behavior of Cement Composites through Citric Acid Treatment of Flax Fibers
(ASCE, 2024/01/01)Recently, there has been renewed interest in the incorporation of plant fibers in cementitious materials to substitute synthetic, steel, and polymer fibers. This interest has been mainly stimulated by the numerous inherent ... -
