Fatigue Performance of Cement-Stabilized Crushed Gravel Produced Using Vertical Vibration Compaction Method
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )In this study, the fatigue performance of cement-stabilized crushed gravel (CSCG) is examined. The mechanical strength of CSCG specimens formed using the vertical vibration compaction method (VVCM) or quasi-static compaction ... -
Two-Step Mixing Process Elaboration of the Hot-Mix Asphalt Mixture Based on Surface Energy Theory
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is a multicomponent mixture composed of asphalt, coarse and fine aggregates, fillers, and other necessary additives. The bitumen–aggregate adhesion and performance of HMA are mainly dependent on such ... -
Material Properties of Porous Asphalt Pavement Cold Patch Mixtures with Different Solvents
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )This laboratory study investigated the performance of open-gradation cold patch asphalt mixtures using two new solvents, mineral spirit and isoamyl acetate, for patching potholes in porous pavements. Mineral spirit and ... -
Nondestructive Evaluation of Rebar Corrosion–Induced Damage in Concrete through Ultrasonic Imaging
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Corrosion of reinforcement in concrete is a billion dollar problem spread across the globe. Early detection of corrosion-induced damage preempts weakening of the structure and timely rehabilitation extends its life. ... -
Evaluation of the Effect of Dust and Soot on Runoff Acidity and Moisture Sensitivity of Asphalt Mixtures Using Thermodynamic and Mechanical Methods
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )The loss of strength and durability because of the presence of moisture leads to moisture damage in asphalt mixtures. Differences in the drinking water characteristics, used in moisture sensitivity tests, and runoff water, ... -
Effect of Ceramic Fibers on the Thermal Cracking of Hot-Mix Asphalt
