Influence of Water Saturation on Dynamic Tensile and Compressive Behaviors of Concrete
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)This paper experimentally investigates the influence of saturation on dynamic behaviors of concrete under both tension and compression stress states. Two grades of concrete were saturated to 0%, 50%, and 100% by oven drying ... -
Designing High-Performance Rejuvenators: A Theoretical Approach to Asphaltene Dimer Aggregation and Disaggregation
(ASCE, 2024/06/01)The aging process of asphalt materials encompasses varying levels of oxidation reactions within its components. This process increases the polarity of the molecules, prompting aggregation among asphaltenes. Thus, a thorough ... -
Intelligent Prediction of Asphalt Concrete Air Voids during Service Life Using Cubist and GBRT-Ensemble Learning Approaches Hybridized with an Equilibrium Optimizer Algorithm
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)There are four critical factors that affect air voids (VA) of asphalt concrete over time: traffic loads and repetitions, environmental regimes, compaction, and asphalt mix composition. Because of the high as-construct VA ... -
Crack Evolution and Strength Attenuation of Red Clay under Dry–Wet Cycles
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Red clay is a special soil that loses water and shrinks easily, which causes expansion and contraction and leads to the generation and development of cracks, weakening the strength and engineering properties of the soil. ... -
Investigation of Antiaging Performance and Service Life of OMMT/SBS Modified Bitumen Waterproof Membranes
(ASCE, 2024/04/01)Improving the aging resistance of waterproof membranes is very important to extend their service life. In this paper, organic montmorillonite (OMMT) was used to enhance the aging resistance of styrene-butadiene-styrene ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Rheological Properties, Interaction, and Microstructure Characteristics of Emulsified Asphalt with Red Mud–Based Geopolymer
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)To reduce energy consumption and save economic costs, waste-derived secondary resources can be considered as cement substitutes for emulsified asphalt. Considering emulsion type and red mud–based alkali-activated materials ... -
Characterization of Phase Structure and Performance Degradation of Aged SBS-Modified Asphalt
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Although previous studies have broadly explored the aging process of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt, there still is a lack of understanding of the precise evolution patterns of its phase structure during ... -
