Experimental Study on Creep Failure of Non-Steam-Cured Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete under High Uniaxial Compressive Stress
(ASCE, 2022-03-23)Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) creep failure was experimentally investigated under high uniaxial compressive stress. The influence of applied stress levels, loading times, and loading rates was considered. The failure ... -
Monitoring Postpeak Crack Propagation in Concrete in the Brazilian Tension Test
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)The Brazilian tension test is the most common tension test used for concrete, with the advantage of simple setup. However, cracking in the Brazilian test takes place abruptly, which does not allow monitoring of postpeak ... -
Multiscale Laboratory Mechanical Performance of SDA Mixtures with Construction and Demolition Waste Filler
(ASCE, 2022-03-23)The incorporation of waste materials into road materials provides an excellent opportunity for partial reductions in virgin material consumption while providing a valuable alternative destination for the would-be waste. ... -
Influence of Clinker Replacement and Curing Temperature on Hydration Kinetics, Strength Development, and Phase Assemblage of Fly Ash–Blended Cements
(ASCE, 2022-03-23)The influence of clinker replacement on temperature sensitivity of fly ash–blended cements was investigated at three realistic temperatures. Blends were prepared by replacing clinker with fly ash or quartz at two replacement ... -
Laboratory Performance Evaluation of a Waterborne Epoxy-Modified Asphalt Mixture with Styrene-Butadiene Rubber for Cold Patching Applications
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)Cold mix asphalt (CMA) is commonly used for repairing asphalt pavement potholes. Ordinary CMA has the problems of poor construction workability and low initial strength in low-temperature environments. To improve pothole ... -
Moisture, Rutting, and Fatigue-Cracking Susceptibility of Water-Carrying, Wax-Based, and Chemical-Based Warm Mix Asphalt Systems
(ASCE, 2022-03-22)The type of the manufacturing technology as well as the reduced production temperatures of warm mix asphalt (WMA) always raise controversy about the early life and long-term performance of WMA mixtures, more specifically ... -
