(ASCE, 2020)Based on the room-temperature and high-temperature test method (steady state and transient state), a series of mechanical property tensile tests was carried out on S30408 (AISI304) austenitic stainless-steel materials. ... -
Dynamic- and Static-Elastic Moduli and Strength Properties of Early-Age Portland Cement Concrete Pavement Mixtures
(ASCE, 2020)This paper investigates the development of compressive strength (fc′), flexural strength (fr), and static elastic modulus (Ec) in relation to the dynamic modulus (Ed) for portland concrete cement (PCC) pavement and patch ... -
Effect of Calcium-Based Derivatives on Consolidation, Strength, and Lime-Leachability Behavior of Expansive Soil
(ASCE, 2020)The current study aims at examining the effect of different calcium-based stabilizers {calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], calcium carbonate [CaCO3], and calcium chloride [CaCl2]} on the geotechnical properties and lime-leaching ... -
Weathering Carbonation Behavior of Concrete Subject to Early-Age Carbonation Curing
(ASCE, 2020)Early-age carbonation for concrete curing has gained increasing attention due to the remarkably enhanced material performance and substantial CO2 storage capability. However, carbonation curing leads to reductions in ... -
Nondestructive Safety Evaluation of Thermally Tempered Glass
(ASCE, 2020)Thermally tempered glass fails into small and blunt pieces upon fracture, and therefore is the product of choice when a degree of safety is required from a monolithic glass panel. The characteristic fracture pattern is the ... -
Material Selection for the Joint between Adjacent Box Beams
(ASCE, 2020)Bridges constructed with adjacent precast concrete box beams have been in service for many years. A recurring problem with this type of bridge is cracking in the longitudinal joints between adjacent beams. Many research ... -
