Shear Properties of Eastern Hemlock with Respect to Fiber Orientation for Use in Cross Laminated Timber
(ASCE, 2020)Shear properties of the cross layer in cross laminated timber (CLT) panels are critical for design purposes, especially for applications with high concentrated loads and low span-to-depth ratios. Understanding how the shear ... -
Interface Shear Strength between Self-Compacting Concrete and Carbonated Concrete
(ASCE, 2020)An experimental test is proposed to investigate the interface shear strength between carbonated concrete substrate and self-compacting concrete (SCC) overlay. Thirty-nine Z-type specimens consisting of two L-type concrete ... -
Evaluation of Different VMA Estimation Methods for Asphalt Mixtures Containing RAP
(ASCE, 2020)During asphalt mixture production, the bulk specific gravity (Gsb) of the mixture aggregate is not routinely measured to determine voids in the mineral aggregate (VMA), because this requires multiple tests and extended ... -
Effects of Sustained Loading and Temperature on a Concrete–Epoxy Bonded Interface
(ASCE, 2020)The mechanical behavior of the concrete–epoxy bonded interface is of high importance in concrete strengthening and repair systems. This paper presents the effects of cure time, sustained load, and different temperatures ... -
New Damage Parameter for Fatigue Analysis of Asphalt Binders in Linear Amplitude Sweep Test
(ASCE, 2020)The fatigue resistance of two conventional and two polymer modified binders using a new definition of failure in the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test was assessed in this study. Viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) theory ... -
Effects of Polymer Latex and Expansive Agent on the Resistance of Cement Asphalt Pastes to Sulfuric Acid Attacks
(ASCE, 2020)Two types of polymer latexes and one expansive agent were employed to investigate their effects on the resistance of cement asphalt (CA) pastes to sulfuric acid. Mercury intrusion porosimetry, a thermogravimetric analysis, ... -
Effects of Slag and Fly Ash on the Durability of Acrylic Emulsion Polymer–Modified Mortar
(ASCE, 2020)Acrylic emulsion polymer–modified mortar (AEPM) is widely used for repairing and maintaining the surface of existing concrete structures. In this study, the durability of AEPM was improved by using slag and fly ash. ... -
Stress–Strain Behavior of Helically Confined RPC Columns Reinforced with Steel Fibers under Concentric Loading
(ASCE, 2020)In this paper, an analytical stress–strain model is proposed that emphasizes the influence of steel fibers of different geometry and volume content on the behavior of the confined reactive powder concrete (RPC) columns. ... -
Effects of Crack Damage on Acceleration Response of Asphalt Pavement via Numerical Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)With the help of ABAQUS, the acceleration responses of asphalt pavement with and without crack damage were simulated, and the change rate of vertical acceleration peak was proposed to characterize the effects caused by ... -
Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties of 35CrMo-GLG650 Steel Rods at Elevated Temperatures
(ASCE, 2020)Investigation of the mechanical properties of steel rods at elevated temperatures is important for the fire-resistant design and fire simulation analysis of steel rod structures. In China, GLG650 denotes a steel rod whose ... -
Comparison of Mechanical Performance and Life Cycle Cost of Natural and Synthetic Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites
(ASCE, 2020)Performance evaluation of cementitious mortar reinforced with natural fibers (jute) and synthetic (polypropylene) fibers is carried out in this article with respect to mechanical response and life cycle cost estimation. ... -
Verification of a New Semidiscrete Beam Model for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams
(ASCE, 2020)This article shows through the analysis of three independent tests that the presented new semidiscrete analytical (SDA) beam model is efficiently applicable in the evaluation of test results. The model is based on fracture ... -
Dynamic Response of Fully Permeable Pavements: Development of Pore Pressures under Different Modes of Loading
(ASCE, 2020)Permeable pavements are widely recognized as an effective way to improve the environmental and ecological aspects of conventional dense pavements. Based on traditional pavement materials, permeable pavements are often ... -
