Enhancing Strength of MICP-Treated Sand with Scrap of Activated Carbon-Fiber Felt
(ASCE, 2020)Microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technique takes advantage of the metabolic process of bacteria bonding soil particles together with an environmentally-friendly and sustainable manner. In this study, ... -
Plain Concrete Prisms Externally Strengthened by CFRP Bonded with Graphene Oxide–Modified Magnesium Phosphate Cement
(ASCE, 2020)Graphene oxide (GO)–modified magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) is used as an adhesive to bond carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites in the formation of MPC-CFRP strengthening materials. The performance of ... -
Electromagnetic Wave-Absorbing Property and Mechanism of Cementitious Composites with Different Types of Nano Titanium Dioxide
(ASCE, 2020)Ten types of nano TiO2 (NT) were used to endow cementitious composites with the electromagnetic absorbing property. The influences caused by sample thickness, the size, and surface treatment of NT on the electromagnetic ... -
Dynamic Mechanical Behavior at Elevated Temperatures and High Strain Rates of Structural Stainless Steel Used in Civil Engineering
(ASCE, 2020)ASTM A240/A240M 304 structural stainless steel is a widely used structural material in civil engineering. In this study, by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique, the dynamic compressive mechanical behavior ... -
Dynamic Modulus and Rutting Performance of As-Built Hot-Mix Asphalt Using Small-Scale Specimens
(ASCE, 2020)The dynamic modulus of asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures is commonly measured using cylindrical specimens having a 100-mm diameter and a 150-mm height (full-size specimens). Testing as-built AC mixtures using this geometry ... -
Effect of Healing Conditions on Fatigue-Healing of Asphalt Binder and Asphalt Mixture
(ASCE, 2020)To study the effects that healing conditions have on the fatigue-healing properties of asphalt materials, we conducted a fatigue-healing-fatigue test on asphalt materials using a dynamic shear rheometer and four-point ... -
Design Embedment Strength of Plybamboo Panels Used for GluBam
(ASCE, 2020)The embedment behavior of plybamboo panels under dowel-type connections used for glued, laminated bamboo (GluBam) structures, was experimentally studied, following the half-hole loading method suggested by ASTM standards, ... -
Use of Thermally Treated Bentonite as Filler in Hot Mix Asphalt
(ASCE, 2020)Clays and clay minerals are widely used as raw materials in different industrial processes due to their abundance. Generally, in road construction projects, clays are considered waste materials because they have some ... -
Influence of Coarse-Aggregate Angularity on Asphalt Mixture Macroperformance: Skid Resistance, High-Temperature, and Compaction Performance
(ASCE, 2020)Macroperformance, i.e., skid resistance, high-temperature, and compaction performance, are related to the functional performance, safety, and durability of asphalt pavement. Currently, the research on such influencing ... -
Optimization of Enzyme-Based Soil Stabilization
(ASCE, 2020)Enzyme-based soil stabilizers have been successfully used in ground applications for the last 30 years. However, the successful application of a given enzyme-based additive is case specific and depends on soil type, ... -
Rheological Properties at Low Temperatures and Chemical Analysis of a Composite Asphalt Modified with Polyphosphoric Acid
(ASCE, 2020)This work improved the low-temperature rheological properties of asphalt modified with styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) using an acid modifier, namely polyphosphoric acid (PPA), and investigated the microstructural changes ... -
Experimental Investigation and Modeling of Thermal Effects on a Typical Cross-Laminated Timber Bracket Shear Connection
(ASCE, 2020)Connections in mass timber structural systems are critical for transferring lateral forces from mass timber elements such as shear walls and diaphragms. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a prominent mass timber material used ... -
Compatible Air Lime Mortars for Historical Tiled Facades: Bond and Mechanical Strength versus Tile–Mortar Interface Microstructure
