CO2 Treatment of Hydrated Cement Powder: Characterization and Application Consideration
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Residual hydrated cement powder (HCP) produced from recovering recycled concrete is usually restricted from being directly reused in concrete due to its high water absorption and porous structure. This study aims to enhance ... -
Effect of the Glass Transition Temperature of Acrylic Polymers on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Kaolinite Clay and Sandy Soil
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)The physical and mechanical behavior of soil polymer composites tightly depends on the properties and structures of both soil and polymer. This study aims to investigate the effect of glass transition temperature as one ... -
Systematic Pretreatment Process and Optimization of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash Dosage for Use in Cement-Based Products
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Studies on the characterization and performance of residual sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) obtained from high-temperature cogeneration boilers in concrete are highly limited. This study investigated the pretreatment process ... -
Response of Concrete Elements Subjected to Impact by Fragments with Varying Aspect Ratios
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Concrete specimens of varying compressive strengths were subjected to impact from fragments with relatively common width-to-thickness, or aspect, ratios. The influence of material characteristics on penetration and perforation ... -
Carbonation Curing of Concretes in a Flexible Enclosure under Ambient Pressure
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Early-age carbonation curing of concrete is considered an alternative curing method that efficiently utilizes carbon dioxide to improve the performance of concrete and reduce carbon emission. Carbonation curing is commonly ... -
Effect of Carbonation Curing on Portland Cement MgSO4 Attack: Laboratory Characterization at 900 Days
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Sulfate exposure at low temperatures is known to accelerate chemical deterioration in limestone cement concrete by promoting thaumasite formation. Carbonation curing as an emerging CO2 sequestration strategy converts gaseous ... -
Novel Plastering Mortar Incorporating Cenospheres for Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Based on Magnesium Phosphate Cement
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building material. However, ordinary portland cement (OPC) mortar is prone to cracking and spall when it is used for surface plastering of ... -
AI-Based Formulation for Mechanical and Workability Properties of Eco-Friendly Concrete Made by Waste Foundry Sand
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The casting process creates a significant amount of waste foundry sand (WFS). Using WFS as a concrete ingredient reduces the problems associated with the dumping process of these types of wastes, removes/reduces carbon ... -
Modeling Constitutive Relationship of Steel Bar Removed from Corroded PC Beams after Fatigue Considering Spatial Location Effect
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Fatigue changes the mechanical behavior of reinforcing bars, significantly reducing the performance of aging concrete structures. This study performed a fatigue loading test on post-tensioned prestressed concrete (PC) beams ... -
Tensile Behavior of Corroded Steel Bars at Elevated Temperatures
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Corroded steel bars frequently exist in concrete structures under chloride exposure conditions. Tensile behaviors of corroded steel bars at high temperatures are important in the fire-resistance evaluation of corroded ... -
Relationship between Air Voids and Permeability: Effect on Water Scouring Resistance in HMA
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)This study explored the relationship between air voids and permeability, and investigated the correlation between air void type, coefficient of permeability, mechanical properties, and moisture damage in hot-mix asphalt ... -
Beach Sand: Alternative Filler in Metakaolin-Based Geopolymers
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The efforts toward sustainability of natural resources promote the use unexploited natural resources and raw materials. Beach sand, unsuitable as filler in concrete due to its salinity and generally uniform grain size, was ... -
New Chemical Reactivity Index to Assess Alkali–Silica Reactivity
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Despite the awareness of the alkali–silica reaction (ASR) since 1940, the need for an efficient and reliable method of evaluating the potential reactivity of aggregates for use in concrete still exists. Current standards ... -
