Moisture Susceptibility of Asphalt Mixtures: Thermodynamic Evaluation of the Effects of Antistripping Additives
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The intrusion of moisture into asphalt pavements affects the cohesion and adhesion properties, which in turn, can lead to several durability- and integrity-related problems, such as potholes and stripping, as well as several ... -
Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Self-Compacting Rubberized Concrete under High Strain Rates
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Self-compacting rubberized concrete (SCRC), as the primary material of road construction, is produced by adding rubber particles instead of sand to self-compacting concrete (SCC). Four kinds of concrete with different ... -
Laboratory Investigation of the Effect of Ceramic Fiber on Stone Matrix Asphalt Rutting Performance
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Rutting is one of the most important distresses in asphalt mixed pavement. As for flexible pavements, stone matrix asphalt is the best option for reducing this failure despite its demerits, e.g., the risk of draining ... -
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement as a Substitution to Natural Coarse Aggregate for the Production of Sustainable Pervious Concrete Pavement Mixes
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)This study discusses the effect of utilizing coarse reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) aggregates as a replacement to natural coarse aggregates (NCAs) for the production of pervious concrete pavement (PCP) mixes. Coarse RAP ... -
Experimental Study on the Shear Performance of Recycled Concrete Self-Insulating Block Walls
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Recycled concrete self-insulating blocks (RCSBs) are an economic and environmentally friendly load-bearing building material that can save energy. In China, there is almost no systematic evaluations focusing on the shear ... -
Investigation of the Nonlinear Creep of Concrete with Different Initial Defect Rates under Continuous Compression with Acoustic Emission Technology
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The available models for estimating the creep strains of concrete generally assume concrete as a homogeneous material. Since concrete is a composite, such models cannot take into account incompatible strains between cement ... -
Interface Shear Behavior between MICP-Treated Calcareous Sand and Steel
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an innovative ground improvement technique that utilizes bacteria to induce calcium carbonate precipitation to cement soil particles. In this paper, the interface strength ... -
Investigation on the Distribution Characteristics of Partial Carbonation Zone of Concrete
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper aims to investigate the distribution characteristics of the partial carbonation zone of concrete. A series of experimental carbonation tests considering the effect of external temperature, concentration of CO2, ... -
Geoenvironmental Evaluation of RCA-Stabilized Dredged Marine Sediments as Embankment Material
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Millions of cubic meters of marine sediment are dredged from Chesapeake Bay waters in Maryland each year. Due to their low-strength characteristics, the sediments often need to be amended with other geomaterials for potential ... -
Influence of Plastic Waste on Chemical and Mechanical Properties of Modified Bitumen Used in the Bituminous Mix for Flexible Pavement
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)The moisture damage on a bituminous road in tropical regions are proliferated only at the weakest aggregate-bitumen interfaces by adverse weathering conditions and propagates for the vehicular overloading condition. ... -
Comparison of Lateral Load Performance of Light Wood Diaphragms Built with Sawn Lumber and Wood I-Joists
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Diaphragm design provisions in North America were originally developed based on the performance of diaphragms constructed with sawn lumber framing members. Although these design guidelines have been applied to diaphragms ... -
Ductile Fracture Characterization of A36 Steel and Comparative Study of Phenomenological Models
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)To better predict ductile fracture (DF) of structural steels under complicated stress states, the DF of an A36 steel was experimentally and numerically investigated within a wide range of stress states. Meanwhile, a scanning ... -
Representation of Flow Number Results of Hot-Mix Asphalt Using Genetic-Based Model
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Rutting, one of the main failures in flexible pavements, is the result of permanent deformation aggregation in pavement layers under traffic loading. Rutting decreases the life of the pavement, and, by influencing control ... -
Chemical and Performance Characteristics of Rejuvenated Bituminous Materials with High Reclaimed Asphalt Content
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The present paper aimed at studying the effectiveness of waste vegetable oil (WVO) as rejuvenator in restoring the desired properties of recycled asphalt mixes. The effectiveness of rejuvenators was first evaluated based ... -
