Multiphase Sphere Modeling of High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete: Freezing–Thawing Performance
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Replacing more than 50% of the cement in concrete with fly ash produces high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete, which likely reduces the life-cycle cost and environmental footprints of concrete. In cold climates, the ... -
Bending Toughness and Calculation Model of Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete with Hybrid Micro- and Nanofillers
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Superfine stainless wires (SSWs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/nano SiO2-coated TiO2 (NTs) were used as hybrid micro- and nanofillers to toughen reactive powder concrete (RPC) in this paper. The multiscale synergistic ... -
Field Evaluation of Polyester-Polymer Concrete Overlays on Bridge Decks Using Nondestructive Testing
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The increased use of polyester-polymer concrete (PPC) overlays on bridge decks throughout the United States has created a need for more comprehensive information about their field performance. The objectives of this research ... -
Variability Characterization of SWCC for Clay and Silt and Its Application to Infinite Slope Reliability
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)A novel statistical framework was developed to quantify the variability of the fitting parameters of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC). Reliable estimation of the mean, standard deviation, and associated probability ... -
RAP-Added SMA Mixtures: How Do They Fare?
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Stone matrix asphalt (SMA) is a highly rut-resistant gap-graded asphalt mixture. The inclusion of supplementary materials such as fiber, filler, and polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) makes the layer more expensive to construct. ... -
Dense-Graded Hot Mix Asphalt with 100% Recycled Concrete Aggregate Based on Thermal-Mechanical Surface Treatment
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Construction and demolition (C&D) waste has been annually generated in high volume due to a mega-scale of the construction industry. It causes the environmental problem of waste management requiring numerous landfill ... -
Research on Asphalt Mixture Bending Test and Micromechanical Evolution Based on 2D Discrete-Element Method
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)The damage of asphalt mixture is closely related to its internal material heterogeneity and discontinuity. The mechanical evolution of asphalt mixture is analyzed by meso-mechanics theory, which is very important for ... -
Using SDA Model in the Designing Process of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) structures are mainly designed using finite-element software. The input parameters used in these methods are based on the material properties of FRC obtained from test results. Because the ... -
Development and Testing of Vascular Networks for Self-Healing Cementitious Materials
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The success of self-healing cementitious materials relies on their ability to repeatedly heal over the lifetime of the material. Vascular networks have a distinct advantage over other self-healing techniques whereby the ... -
Potential Use of the Prewetting of Recycled and Lightweight Aggregates to Improve Cement Pastes for Residue Solidification/Stabilization Systems with Chromium and Zinc
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Internal curing agents are materials that supply additional water for cement hydration, the water being supplied by internal reservoirs (porous and absorbent aggregates). In this study, the potential for a recycled concrete ... -
Effect of Composite Light Stabilizer on the Anti-Ultraviolet Aging Property of Matrix Asphalt
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes asphalt aging and thus influences its performance. In this research, a composite light stabilizer was prepared to increase the light stability of matrix asphalt. Benzotriazole UV absorber ... -
