Effect of Fly Ash Contents in Autogenous Self-Healing of Conventional Concretes Analyzed Using Different Test Tools
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Concrete structures are susceptible to cracking, contributing to the penetration and transport of deleterious agents, which may compromise their durability. At the end of the 19th century, a natural capacity of the concrete ... -
Evaluation of the Pozzolanic Activity of Uncontrolled-Combusted Sewage Sludge Ash
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Waste management is a crucial issue facing modern society. The generation of sewage sludge is increasing annually due to the urbanization and improvement of sanitation systems of cities. The construction sector has emerged ... -
Efflorescence Control in Calcined Kaolin-Based Geopolymer Using Silica Fume and OPC
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)Efflorescence has been an ongoing issue facing the development of geopolymers; excess efflorescence may disturb the stability of the binder microstructure. This paper investigates the controlling of efflorescence in a ... -
Technoeconomic Study of Alkali-Activated Slag Concrete with a Focus on Strength, CO2 Emission, and Material Cost
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The present research evaluates the technoeconomic performance of alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete in comparison with ordinary portland cement (OPC) concrete. Seventy-five AAS mixtures with a wide range of mixture ... -
Application of Corn Stalk Fibers in SMA Mixtures
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Serious environmental pollution will occur if corn stalk materials are discarded randomly or burned in open air. This study presents a possible method for using corn stalk materials to make fibers used in stone matrix ... -
Predicting Corrosion Fatigue Crack Propagation Behavior of HRB400 Steel Bars in Simulated Corrosive Environments
(ASCE, 6/1/2021)This paper systematically performed fatigue crack propagation (FCP) tests to investigate the corrosion fatigue crack propagation (CFCP) behavior of HRB400 steel bar. The fatigue loading scheme involved the constant amplitude ... -
Mechanical Property Evaluation of Hybrid Mixed-Species CLT Panels with Sugar Maple and White Spruce
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)This study evaluated the mechanical properties of hybrid (mixed-species) cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels made of low-value sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and white spruce (Picea glauca). The modulus of elasticity (MOE) ... -
Laboratory Assessment of the Mechanical Properties of an Unsaturated Mid-Atlantic Silty Sand
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Natural soil formation processes involve variable particle size distributions that vary spatially within a deposit, giving rise to an array of soils that transition from one general soil type to another within essentially ... -
Sedimentation Behavior of Organic, Inorganic, and Composite Flocculant-Treated Waste Slurry from Construction Works
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)The disposal of waste slurry from construction engineering is attracting more and more attention due to the thorny issues related to high water content (dewatering is difficult and time-consuming). The use of chemical ... -
Bond Characterization and Interfacial Coefficients at Precast UHPC and Cast-in-Place UHPC Interface
(ASCE, 7/1/2021)Ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) is an advanced composite material that exhibits superior compressive and tensile strengths as well as negligible permeability. Although the mechanical properties of UHPC are extensively ... -
Permanent Deformation Behavior of Foamed Bitumen Stabilized Mixes
