Influence of Cement Type on Fiber–Matrix Interface Bond Strength
(ASCE, 2022-01-17)This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the interface bond strength between reinforcing fibers embedded in a calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement matrix, utilizing the single-fiber pullout test. ... -
Multilayer Microstructure Characterization of the Interfacial Transition Zone between Polymer-Modified Magnesium Phosphate Cement and Portland Cement
(ASCE, 2022-01-18)Magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) as a fast-setting material has been widely used in the rapid repair of cement concrete pavement. A decisive role was played in the bonding performance of the repair interface between MPC ... -
Experimental Assessment and CVGM Modeling to Investigate the Seismic Stress– and Strain–Controlled Fatigue Properties of St-37 and St-52 Grade Steels
(ASCE, 2022-01-18)In this study, the damaging effects of seismic stress-controlled fatigue (low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue) and seismic strain–controlled fatigue (extremely low-cycle fatigue) on Grade St-37 and St-52 steels were studied. ... -
Addition of Encapsulated Soybean Oil and Waste Cooking Oil in Asphalt Mixtures: Effects on Mechanical Properties and Self-Healing of Fatigue Damage
(ASCE, 2022-01-17)Embedded encapsulated rejuvenators have been proven to enhance the crack-healing ability of asphalt. This healing mechanism is autonomous as it is triggered by the energy resulting from the axles’ passages on the road: an ... -
Experimental Investigations on the State-Dependent Thermal Conductivity of Sand-Rubber Mixtures
(ASCE, 2021-12-29)Soil-rubber mixtures are potential construction materials for use in civil engineering applications such as the thermal insulation layer for buried pipelines in the permafrost zone and underground energy storage systems. ... -
Behavior of Geocell-Reinforced Soil Abutment Wall: A Physical Modeling
(ASCE, 2021-12-31)The use of geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) structures instead of pile foundation in bridge abutment walls leads to reduction in costs and bridge bump. This study evaluates the effect of geocell as reinforcement on the ... -
Low-Temperature and Fatigue Characteristics of Degraded Crumb Rubber–Modified Bitumen Before and After Aging
(ASCE, 2021-12-30)The high viscosity and poor storage stability of crumb rubber–modified asphalt (CRMA) can be partially addressed by the appropriate degree of degradation of the crumb rubber modifier. However, the low-temperature and fatigue ... -
Fatigue Properties of Aged Porous Asphalt Mixtures with an Epoxy Asphalt Binder
