Effects of Brick Powder on the Properties of Asphalt Mixes
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This study examines the use of brick powder (BP) reclaimed from construction and demolition waste as a filler in a hot-mix asphalt (HMA) in hot and desertic areas. For this research, two HMA mixtures were designed using ... -
Performance Studies on Steel Fiber–Reinforced GGBS-Dolomite Geopolymer Concrete
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Geopolymer concrete is a sustainable material which can reuse industrial by-products and thereby minimize the emission of greenhouse gases during its production, unlike cement. Blended geopolymer concrete has been made ... -
Effect of Nano-Kaolinite Clay on Rebar Corrosion and Bond Behavior Between Rebar and Concrete
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)The effect of nano-kaolinite clay (NKC) on the bond behavior between rebar and concrete was studied in a series of experiments. An electrical corrosion method was used to corrode the rebar embedded in concrete specimens. ... -
Effect of Xanthan Gum Biopolymer on Fracture Properties of Clay
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Additives enhancing the fracture resistance of clay are of great importance to decrease cracking potential of earth structures. With the promotion of environmental protection, eco-friendly biopolymers have shown their ... -
Observational Analysis of Fire-Induced Spalling of Concrete through Ensemble Machine Learning and Surrogate Modeling
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Despite ongoing research efforts, we continue to fall short of arriving at a consistent representation of fire-induced spalling of concrete. This is often attributed to the complexity and randomness of spalling as well as ... -
Rehydration Model for Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete Matrix
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Unhydrated cementitious materials in ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) with a low water-to-binder ratio stop hydrating owing to water shortage but continue hydrating after re-exposure to water; this phenomenon is ... -
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic Analyses of the Influence of the Surface Nanocrystallization on the Passivation of Carbon Steel in the Pore Solution
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This research aimed to apply different models on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to study the influence of grain refinement and straining obtained from surface mechanical attrition treatment on the passivation of ... -
Laboratory Method to Characterize Coarse Aggregate Segregation for HMA
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Aggregate gradation segregation in asphalt mixtures can result in early damage and reduced durability in asphalt pavement. However, presently, most methods of segregation detection can be performed only after the design ... -
Effect of Rice Husk Ash on the Carbonation Depth of Concrete under Different Curing Ages and Humidity Levels
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Alternative materials are becoming the substances of choice for designers over conventional materials due to cost and availability constraints. The sustainability and maintenance of the supply of conventional construction ... -
Quantification of Railway Ballast Degradation by Abrasion Testing and Computer-Aided Morphology Analysis
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)Ballast degradation (particle breakage and abrasion) induced by repeated train loads may lead to insufficient track stiffness and excessive track settlement. For safe operation and effective maintenance of ballasted railroad ... -
Effect of Polymer Amendment on Hydraulic Conductivity of Bentonite in Calcium Chloride Solutions
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Hydraulic conductivity of polyanionic cellulose (PAC)–amended bentonite (PB) in calcium chloride (CaCl2) solutions was investigated to access its chemical compatibility in vertical cutoff walls application. PB was synthesized ... -
Characterization of Damage and Healing of Cement Matrices Based on Fly Ash under Repeated Loading
(ASCE, 1/1/2021)This paper investigates damage and healing of cementitious materials based on fly ash (FA) with a special focus on the effect of repeated loading on the self-healing performance. In total, 90 prism specimens and 33 cylinder ... -
Thermomechanical Analysis of Fiber–Bentonite-Based Mixtures as Buffer Material in an Engineered Nuclear Barrier
(ASCE, 2/1/2021)Buffer/backfill material is an important part of engineered barriers in deep geological repositories of high-level radioactive waste (HLRW). A good buffer material not only possesses good heat conductivity, expansion, and ... -
Role of Rubber Crumbs on the Stress-Strain Response of a Coal Wash Matrix
(ASCE, 3/1/2021)The recycling of waste materials (e.g., coal wash, steel slag, recycled rubber, and fly ash) is becoming increasingly popular in ground engineering projects. While the physical properties of these waste materials can ... -
