Chemical Composition and Rheological Characteristics of Binders Containing RAP and Rejuvenator
(ASCE, 2020)One of the most important concerns in using different additives for improving fatigue and low-temperature cracking resistance is the diminishing rutting resistance of pavement. In this research, saturates, aromatics, resins, ... -
Performance of Polyurethane Mixtures with Skeleton-Interlocking Structure
(ASCE, 2020)Asphalt is a kind of temperature-sensitive material, and the temperature stability of asphalt mixtures is not very good. The production of hot-mix asphalt mixtures consumes a substantial amount of energy and produces carbon ... -
Mix Design Method for Self-Compacting Recycled Aggregate Concrete and Its Microstructural Investigation by Considering Adhered Mortar in Aggregate
(ASCE, 2020)This article is on the development of a mix design method for self-compacting recycled aggregate concrete (SCRAC) by considering the adhered mortar content (AMC) on the surface of the aggregate. In this method of mix design, ... -
Resistivity Measurement of Backfill for Mechanically Stabilized Earth Walls
(ASCE, 2020)Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls often include galvanized steel strips as mechanical reinforcement within layers of specified backfill material. Galvanized steel reinforcement provides considerable tensile strength; ... -
Effects of Steel Slag on Mechanical Properties and Mechanism of Fly Ash–Based Geopolymer
(ASCE, 2020)In order to study the effects of steel slag on the mechanical properties and microstructure of geopolymers, the compressive strength and flexural strength of a fly-ash steel slag–based geopolymer paste/mortar have been ... -
Laboratory Investigation of Cement-Stabilized Marginal Lateritic Soil by Crushed Slag–Fly Ash Replacement for Pavement Applications
(ASCE, 2020)Road construction consumes vast quantities of high-quality quarry materials. Lateritic soil (LS) is commonly used as a natural resource for subbase and base materials in Thailand. This research aims to study the feasibility ... -
Influence of Silica Fume and Additives on Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cement-Stabilized Marine Soft Clay
(ASCE, 2020)This study presents results on the influence of silica fume (SF) and additives on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of ordinary portland cement (OPC)-stabilized salt-rich marine soft clay. The effects of additives ... -
Study on the Size Effect of Unconfined Compressive Strength of Rammed Earthen Site’s Soil Samples
(ASCE, 2020)The purpose of this research is to study the influence of aspect ratio and end conditions on the strength and failure mode of remolded soil samples in unconfined compressive strength tests. The digital image correlation ... -
Development of Lightweight Rubberized Geopolymer Concrete by Using Polystyrene and Recycled Crumb-Rubber Aggregates
(ASCE, 2020)An environmentally friendly concrete is of high interest to develop because the production of portland cement as the main binder of conventional concrete is associated with generating a large amount of carbon dioxide. As ... -
Comparison of Linear Viscoelastic Properties of Crumb Rubber–Modified Binders Measured Using Parallel-Plate and Concentric Cylinder Geometries with Asphalt Mixture Dynamic Modulus
(ASCE, 2020)Rubber particles can become compressed during testing of asphalt binders modified with crumb rubber (CR) in dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) parallel-plate geometry. This is especially true at high concentrations and/or large ... -
Effect of Salt-Frost Cycles on Mechanical Properties and Uniaxial Compression Stress–Strain Curve of Recycled Coarse Aggregate Concrete
(ASCE, 2020)In this study, recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RAC) with incorporation of high-performance water-reducer and air-entraining agent was designed with a water to cement ratio of 0.25. Rapid salt-frost tests were conducted ... -
Effect of Different Humidity-Controlling Modes on Microstructure and Compressive Behavior of Ordinary Concrete
(ASCE, 2020)Concretes at different saturation degrees are needed to be prepared in the laboratory when studying the effects of humidity on its mechanical properties. Different humidity control methods would produce different results. ... -
Rheological Interference of Amine and Silane–Based Antistripping Agents on Crumb Rubber–Modified Binder
(ASCE, 2020)Liquid antistripping agents are added to asphalt binder to improve moisture resistance of the mixture. However, the chemical makeup and bonding mechanism of antistripping agents may cause significant effects on binder ... -
