Concomitantly Controlling Harmful Fumes Generation and Enhancing Mechanical Properties of SBS Modified Asphalt by the Incorporation of MIL-101(Cr) as Modifier
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)The metal organic framework [MIL-101(Cr)] was used as a second modifier to prepare MIL-101(Cr)-styrene-butadiene styrene (MIL-101(Cr)/SBS) modified asphalt. The influence of MIL-101(Cr) addition and contents on rheological ... -
Effects of Hydrophobic Expanded Silicate Aggregates on Properties of Structural Lightweight Aggregate Concrete
(ASCE, 6/1/2020 1)This article addresses the performance of structural lightweight aggregate concretes and the relation of their performance to density class. Natural expanded silicate materials treated with a hydrophobic agent were used ... -
Stabilization and Solidification of Oil-Contaminated Sandy Soil Using Portland Cement and Supplementary Cementitious Materials
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)In this research, an attempt was made to explore the possibility of using a stabilization and solidification (S/S) technique for the treatment of sandy soil contaminated with diesel and crude oil using different stabilizers. ... -
Chemical Characterization of Recycling Agents
(ASCE, 5/1/2020 1)Modification of aged binders by the use of recycling agents is significantly influenced by the chemical compositions of these agents. Despite the widespread use of recycling agents, the effect of their chemical properties ... -
Test Method on Adhesive Property of Joint Sealant in Supporting Layer of Ballastless Slab Track
(ASCE, 10/1/2020 )The current test method cannot predict the properties of a joint sealant accurately, and therefore this paper proposes a new test method to evaluate its adhesive property. Field investigation was conducted to examine the ... -
Properties of Asphalt Concrete Using Aggregates Composed of Limestone and Steel Slag Blends
(ASCE, 7/1/2020 1)This research investigates the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete using aggregates consisting of limestone (L) and steel slag (S) blends. The properties of the L/S asphalt concrete were compared with those of L ... -
Galvanic Corrosion of ASTM A1010 Steel Connected to Common Bridge Steels
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)The corrosion behavior of a low chromium-content stainless steel, ASTM A1010 (also under the dual designation ASTM A709 Gr50CR), was investigated. This stainless steel has been identified as a candidate for bridges located ... -
Macromechanical Properties and ITZ of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete from the Deck of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge after 50 Years
(ASCE, 5/1/2020 1)Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) is a widely used material in civil engineering. This paper aims to evaluate the macro- and microcharacteristics of lightweight aggregate concrete which has served as the deck in the ... -
