Approach to Estimate Hydraulic Conductivity Function from Soil–Water Retention Curve for Noncohesive Soils
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Pavement materials are prone to damage due to mechanical loadings and rainfall infiltration. The rainfall initiates moisture movement within the layers and accelerates the damaging rate. A better understanding of the ... -
Bond Strength of Coir Fibers in Cement-Stabilized Rammed Earth Matrix
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Cement-stabilized rammed earth (CSRE) is a monolithic construction used in the construction of load-bearing walls. CSRE predominantly undergoes catastrophic shear failures under compression. Short randomly oriented fiber ... -
Influence of Biochar Particle Size Fractions on Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Biochar-Amended Soil

Effects of Capsules Containing Waste Oils on the Mechanical Properties of Hot Mix Asphalt: Experimental Approach
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Self-healing asphalt with encapsulated rejuvenators is a promising technology to improve the service life of asphalt pavements. Broken capsules reduce the viscosity of aged bitumen due to rejuvenator diffusion, sealing ... -
Nanomodified Cementitious Composites Incorporating Basalt Fiber Pellets under Tensile and Impact Loads
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)This study investigated the behavior of nanomodified cementitious composites reinforced with innovative basalt fiber pellets (BFP), with specially tailored surface texture under quasi-static (direct) tensile as well as ... -
Corrosion of Strained Plain Rebar in Chloride-Contaminated Mortar and Novel Approach to Estimate the Corrosion Amount from Rust Characterization
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Some of the steel bars used in reinforced concrete construction experience plastic strain due to various operations at construction sites. The present work concentrates on the corrosion behavior of such prestrained reinforced ... -
Corrosion Performance of Steel Reinforcement in Self-Compacting Concrete Exposed to Combined Sodium Chloride-Magnesium Sulfate Exposure Solution
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)This study investigates the effect of binder type, w/b ratio, and exposure solution on the corrosion performance of steel reinforcement in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Prismatic specimens made from SCC were subjected ... -
Multiscale Characterization of Aging and Rejuvenation in Asphalt Binder Blends with High RAP Contents
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)The use of high amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt pavements has many economic and environmental benefits; however, there are concerns about brittleness and potential cracking of asphalt mixtures. One ... -
Evaluating the Tensile Properties of Geogrids Using the Particle Image Velocimetry Technique
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This study investigates the use of the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique and GeoPIV-RG software to track the localized axial and lateral strain development of composite geogrid specimens in a wide-width tensile ... -
Strength and Durability Properties of Treated Recycled Aggregate Concrete by Soaking and Mechanical Grinding Method: Influence of Processing Technique
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)The use of recycled aggregate (RA) generated from construction and demolition (C&D) waste to produce new concrete would minimize the need for the use of natural aggregate (NA). The authors propose a new hybrid method ... -
Rheology of High-Volume Fly Ash Self-Compacting Recycled Aggregate Concrete
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Effect of selected volumetric replacement (0%, 20%, 40%, and 60%) of cement with class-F fly ash in a binary binder and of three water-cementitious material ratios (0.40, 0.34, and 0.28) on rheology of self-compacting ... -
Novel Hybrid Fiber Factor for Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Hybrid use of macro and micro steel fibers offers greater potential for enhanced performance of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete (HFRC). However, predicting the properties of HFRC has been hindered by inadequate research ... -
