Thermodynamic Evaluation of Smectite Treated with Hydrogen Ion Stabilizer
(ASCE, 2020)Smectite-bearing, expansive clayey soils are common in many areas of Texas, causing damage to pavements and building foundations by cyclic shrinking and swelling. The mechanism of shrinking and swelling has been widely ... -
Chloride Diffusivity, Fatigue Life, and Service Life Analysis of RC Beams under Chloride Exposure
(ASCE, 2020)This study investigates the combined actions of flexural fatigue loading and chloride exposure by an experimental examination of the initial fatigue loading cycles (0.2, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 million), chloride exposure ... -
Performance of Pervious Concrete Exposed to Magnesium Chloride Deicers
(ASCE, 2020)Pervious concrete can be utilized simultaneously as a pavement surface and part of a stormwater management system. In cold climates, it may be exposed to deicers, many of which have been shown to deteriorate the strength ... -
Laboratory Evaluation of Effect of Addition Methods of Rejuvenators on Properties of Recycled Asphalt Mixtures
(ASCE, 2020)The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of rejuvenators and determine how the methods of adding rejuvenators into recycled asphalt mixtures could affect their performance. In this study, five different ... -
Investigation of Cotton Straw Fibers for Asphalt Mixtures
(ASCE, 2020)Cellulose fiber is commonly used to improve the properties of asphalt pavement. However, its production process is complex and costly, consumes valuable forest resources, and pollutes the environment. Cotton straw is a ... -
Investigation into Pozzolanic Activity Component of Basalt and Pumice
(ASCE, 2020)To evaluate the feasibility of using basalt and pumice as pozzolanic materials in a cement-based material, this paper is focused on the pozzolanic activity component (PAC) of basalt and pumice. PAC was explored as a ... -
Early Production of High Strength and Improved Water Resistance Gypsum Mortars from Used Plaster Mould and Cullet Waste
(ASCE, 2020)This research aims at producing high-strength, water-resistant, gypsum-based materials (from used plaster moulds) with the additions of glass cullet and cements and investigating the influence of glass cullet contents on ... -
Influence of Integration of Phase Change Materials on Hydration and Microstructure Properties of Nanosilica Admixed Cementitious Mortar
(ASCE, 2020)The present study demonstrates the influence of integrating phase change materials (PCMs) on hydration and microstructure properties of nanosilica admixed cementitious mortar. First, the optimized dosage of nanosilica in ... -
Strength and Durability Characteristics of Cement-Sand Stabilized Earth Blocks
(ASCE, 2020)Conventional building materials like fired clay brick (FCB) and concrete blocks are expensive and, in some cases, have detrimental effect on environment. Compressed stabilized earth block (CSEB) can be an effective alternative ... -
Evaluation of Aggregate Crushing Tests and Their Correlation with Superpave Mix Design Properties
(ASCE, 2020)This paper evaluated alternative test methods to determine the crushing potential of aggregates and documented the influence of aggregate characteristics on the engineering properties of asphalt mixes. Six aggregates sampled ... -
Effect of Tapered Head Sleeve Structural Parameters on Grouting Connection Joints Deformation
(ASCE, 2020)In order to study the effect of different structural parameters on the connection performances of a tapered head sleeve (THS) and the calculation method of the bond strength, a three-dimensional finite-element model was ... -
Activation of Slag as Partial Replacement of Cement Mortar: Effects of Superfine GGBS, Temperature, and Admixture
(ASCE, 2020)With perspective to the precast industry, this paper is a study of superfine (SF) ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) as replacement (0%, 30%, 50%, and 70%) of rapid-hardening cement (CEM 1 42.5R) under two types ... -
Laboratory Study on the Cyclic and Postcyclic Behavior of Plastic Concrete Used in Cutoff Walls of Embankment Dams
