Effects of Air-Entraining Admixtures on Stability of Air Bubbles in Concrete
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Effects of synthetic and neutralized vinsol resin (NVR) air-entraining admixtures (AEAs) were compared through air-content measurements of freshly mixed concrete, hardened cylinders, and cores from field and laboratory ... -
Chemical Aging Indexes and Rheological Parameters for Cracking Susceptibility Evaluation of Alaskan Polymer–Modified Asphalt Binders
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Asphalt oxidation induces asphalt binder embrittlement, which in turn increases the susceptibility of flexible pavement to fatigue and low-temperature cracking. It is critical to determine an index that can appropriately ... -
Crack Self-Healing in NaOH-Activated Slag-Based Composites Incorporating Calcium Hydroxide
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Geopolymers and alkali-activated materials (AAM) have emerged as a promising sustainable alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Although much effort has recently been devoted to a wide range of research on the ... -
Effect of Curing Age on the Microstructure and Hydration Behavior of Oil Well Cement Paste Cured at High Temperature
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)With the extensive increase in exploitation of shale gas/oil, the mechanical/physical properties of oil well cement paste (OWCP) are paid special attention to. The mechanical and physical properties of OWCP is believed to ... -
Investigating the Mechanical Properties and Fracture Behavior of Welded-Wire Reinforcement
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)Welded-wire reinforcement (WWR) is widely used as the main reinforcement in bridge decks and vertical shear reinforcement in concrete bridge girders. Previous studies on concrete members reinforced with WWR have indicated ... -
Investigating the Effect of Degree of Blending on Performance of High RAP Content Mixtures
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of degree of blending on the rutting and fatigue performance of 100% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content mixtures. Recycled asphalt binders were extracted ... -
Structural Integrity Assessment of the Welded SAE/AISI 1045 Steel for Structural Use
(ASCE, 4/1/2021)The anchorage of a cable-stayed bridge failed and was subsequently replaced by another anchorage made of SAE/AISI 1045 steel. The new structural component has been assessed by using different options of failure assessment ... -
Laboratory Investigation of Fog-Seal Treatment on Performance of Open-Graded Friction Course Pavement
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)Open-graded friction course (OGFC), also called permeable friction course (PFC), is a thin and permeable asphalt concrete whose skeleton is composed mainly of coarse aggregate, leading to an immediate drainage of water and ... -
Effect of Coarse Aggregate Characteristics on Skid Resistance Deterioration of the Ultrathin Wearing Course
