Relationship between Rank of Laboratory Testing Results and Field Performance of Asphalt Interstate Pavement
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)This study investigates the performance of multiple sections of the interstate system in Arkansas through the laboratory testing of 270 field cores taken from ten sections of I-30 and I-40. These roadway sections are defined ... -
Influence of Moisture Damage on Fatigue of Warm Mix and Hot Mix Asphalt Mixture
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Quantification of the fatigue life of warm mix asphalt (WMA) is challenging due to various factors such as the extent of aging and moisture susceptibility, to mention a few. Hydrated lime as an antistripping material can ... -
Reducing Volume Expansion of Steel Slag by Using a Surface Hydrophobic Waterproof Structure
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )Reducing volume expansion of steel slag is a key problem for steel slag to be applied in asphalt concrete pavement. It not only avoids environmental damage caused by natural stone mining but also provides a cheap and ... -
Role of Chloride Ion and Cation Type Accompanied by Sulfate Ion on Durability Performance of Concrete in Conjoint Chloride–Sulfate Environment
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)This work assessed the durability performance of concrete made with ordinary portland cement (OPC), portland pozzolana cement (PPC), OPC +20% fly ash, and OPC +30% fly ash subjected to sulfate-only and to conjoint ... -
Chemically Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation for Improving Strength of Sand
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Chemically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (CCP) using calcium hydroxide (CH) and carbon dioxide (CO2) was employed to clean sand for improving its strength. Joomunjin sand was mixed with 2% CH and 10% water, and ... -
Analysis and Comparison of Different Impacts of Aging and Loading Frequency on Fatigue Characterization of Asphalt Concrete
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Asphaltic material is a kind of viscoelastic material, and its performance varies with test and materials conditions, such as stress states, temperatures, aging degree, gradations, and binders. The anti fatigue design of ... -
Comparison of SBS-Modified Asphalt Rheological Properties during Simple-Aging Test
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of different aging times on the performance of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) copolymer–modified asphalt. Two kinds of SBS-modified asphalt with different SBS contents ... -
Effect of Aggregate Gradation on Asphalt Mixture Compaction Parameters
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)In this study, the effect of aggregate gradation on asphalt mixture compactability was investigated. Based on different combinations of coarse and fine aggregates, four gradation zones were defined: coarse pack, coarse ... -
Effect of Temperature on Mechanical Properties of Steel Bolts
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)The strength characteristics of bolts under ambient and fire conditions are among the major factors affecting the performance of bolted connections in steel structures. At present, the evaluation of fire resistance of steel ... -
