Effects of Alumina Nanofibers and Cellulose Nanocrystals on Durability and Self-Healing Capacity of Ultrahigh-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concretes
(ASCE, 2022/05/17)Ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) features outstanding durability properties in uncracked state, although its composition based on very low water/cement ratios may result in a higher risk of early-age ... -
Estimating Stress Relaxation and Cracking Potential of High-Strength Concrete Reinforced with Polyvinyl Alcohol Fiber at Early Age
(ASCE, 2022/06/27)High-strength concrete (HSC) with a low water-to-cement (w/c) ratio always exhibits high shrinkage at an early age. Concrete with shrinkage that is subjected to restraint is prone to trigger harmful cracking, which facilitates ... -
Microstructure and Dimensional Stability of Slag-Based High-Workability Concrete with Steelmaking Slag Aggregate and Fibers
(ASCE, 2022/06/27)Four high-workability (pumpable and self-compacting) concrete mix designs are presented that incorporate steelmaking slags with additions of both metallic and polymeric fibers. Electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) as aggregate, ... -
Comparison between Direct Tension, Four-Point Flexure, and Simplified Double-Punch Tests for UHPC Tensile Behavior
(ASCE, 2022/06/28)As ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) becomes more widely used, the need for good concrete tensile tests for fiber-reinforced concrete has become apparent. However, there is not yet one universally used test method. ... -
Effect of Steric Hardening on the Damage Recovery of Bitumen
(ASCE, 2022/06/27)Bituminous mixtures recover from fracture damage during rest periods and at high service temperatures due to their self-healing ability. Steric hardening of binders is a time-dependent phenomenon whose effect on the ... -
Comprehensive Evaluation of Properties and Performance of Asphalt Mixtures with Reactive Isocyanate and Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene-Modified Binders
(ASCE, 2022/06/28)The purpose of this study was to conduct a performance evaluation to investigate the effect of a newer type of asphalt binder modification system and to demonstrate the importance of performance prediction modeling over ... -
Simple Asphalt Mixture Shear Rutting Test and Mechanical Analysis
(ASCE, 2022/06/27)Asphalt pavement rutting is caused primarily by shear stresses induced by heavy truckloads. Many tests have been developed to determine asphalt mix rutting potential. However, due to limited correlation with field rutting ... -
Laboratory Investigation of PPG-TDI Polyurethane–Modified Asphalt Binders and Mixtures
(ASCE, 2022/06/24)Considering the defects of insufficient low-temperature flexibility and high cost of epoxy asphalt binder, low-cost polypropylene glycol (PPG) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) were used to synthesize two polyurethane (PU) ... -
Determining with High Accuracy the Relaxation Modulus and Creep Compliance of Asphaltic Materials in the Form of Sums of Exponential Functions from Mathematical Master Curves of Dynamic Modulus
(ASCE, 2022/06/27)According to the physical causality principle, the two components of complex modulus are not independent yet interrelated to each other via Kramers-Kronig relationships. Using two mathematical functions to predict ... -
Low-Temperature and Fatigue Properties of Asphalt Binders Modified with Crumb Rubber from Discarded Tires and Recycled Low-Density Polyethylene
