A Unified Moisture Sorption–Desorption Isotherm for Engineered Wood
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This paper proposes a unified sorption–desorption isotherm for the full range relative humidity (0%–100%) based on categorizing the behavior of different pore size groups for engineered wood products. The sorption and ... -
Chemical, Physical, and Rheological Evaluation of Aging Behaviors of Terminal Blend Rubberized Asphalt Binder
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Terminal blend rubberized asphalt (TBRA) is widely used as binder of asphalt mixtures due to its technical characteristics of storage stability. However, its road performance deteriorates due to the aging process of TBRA. ... -
Effect of Feldspar Dissolution on Alkali–Silica Reaction at Elevated Temperatures
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Two feldspars were used as fine aggregates and cement replacement to explore the effect of feldspar dissolution on alkali–silica reaction (ASR) expansion at elevated temperatures (38°C and 60°C). At elevated temperatures, ... -
Experimental Research on Fatigue Performance of Corroded Q690 High-Strength Steel
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)To study the antifatigue performance of Q690 high-strength steel in the ocean splash zone, indoor accelerated corrosion tests and high-cycle fatigue tests were carried out, and the S-N curves of different corrosion specimens ... -
Coupled Thermo–Hydro–Mechanical Characteristics of Compacted GMZ Bentonite: Parameters Identification and Validation
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Compacted Gaomiaozi (GMZ) bentonite has been considered as the first choice of buffer materials in the deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) in China. During the long-term lifespan of the repository, ... -
Laboratory Evaluation on Pavement Performance of Polyurethane Mixture for Thin Overlay
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)The construction temperature of commonly polymer-modified asphalt for thin overlay is high, and the asphalt is prone to aging, which affects the service life of pavement. In this research, polyurethane (PU) binder was used ... -
Recycling Waste Cigarette Butts in Dense Graded Asphalt
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Trillions of cigarette butts (CBs) are dumped into landfills globally. CBs leach toxic components into the soil, including heavy metals, tar, and many other chemical compounds. Approximately 7.2 billion CBs are discarded ... -
