Effects of Brick Content on Crushing Behavior of Subgrade Backfill Material Composed of Construction Waste
(ASCE, 2020)The use of construction waste as a subgrade backfill material is a very promising approach to solve the problems of the rapidly increasing amount of construction waste and the shortage of construction materials. This paper ... -
Flexural Performance of Basalt Textile-Reinforced Concrete with Pretension and Short Fibers
(ASCE, 2020)The flexural behavior of basalt textile-reinforced concrete (BTRC) with and without pretension and with one of two types of short fibers was investigated using an instrumental four-point bending test under quasi-static ... -
Effects of Titanium Dioxide on the Structure and Properties of Bitumen
(ASCE, 2020)The aim of this work was an evaluation of the influence of titanium dioxide on the chemical and physical properties as well as the aging behavior of bitumen. Accordingly, two samples of paving grade bitumen 50/70 and one ... -
Variability of Silica Fume Concrete and Its Effect on Seismic Safety of Reinforced Concrete Buildings
(ASCE, 2020)Design of structures made using silica fume (SF) concrete to an acceptable level of safety requires the probabilistic evaluation of its mechanical properties. An extensive experimental program was carried out on compressive ... -
Relationships between Compressive Strength and Transport Properties of Ultrahigh-Strength Green Concrete Utilizing Ternary-Blended Binder
(ASCE, 2020)One of the main aspects of sustainable engineering constructions is the recycling of byproduct materials or wastes, including those from different agricultural crops. The influence of ternary-blended binders—ordinary ... -
Physical and High-Temperature Rheological Properties of PHEMA-Modified Bitumen
(ASCE, 2020)The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of polymer 2 hydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) with different amounts (3%, 5%, and 7% by weight) on physical and high-temperature rheological properties of bitumen. ... -
Strain Distribution of Dowel-Type Connections Reinforced with Self-Tapping Screws
(ASCE, 2020)Current limited guidance on the selection of screws together with undefined design specifications restricts the effectiveness of self-tapping screws as reinforcement on timber members to control crack propagation. Using ... -
Discrete-Element Modeling of Cemented Granular Material Using Mixed-Mode Cohesive Zone Model
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents an energy-controlled fracture model to simulate mechanical behavior of cemented granular material (CGM). A modified mixed-mode cohesive zone model is developed to describe the damage behavior of the ... -
Influences of Pavement Material and Structure on the High-Temperature Stability of Double-Layer Pavements
(ASCE, 2020)Double-layer paving technology is a new construction technique for asphalt pavements. Few laboratory studies have been conducted on the influences of pavement layer thickness and mixture types on the high-temperature ... -
Extruded Tire Crumb-Rubber Recycled Polyethylene Melt Blend as Asphalt Composite Additive for Enhancing the Performance of Binder
(ASCE, 2020)Concerning environmental problems caused by ever-increasing waste polymers, this paper developed tire crumb rubber (TCR) combined with recycled polyethylene (RPE) extruded melt blend as a composite additive for asphalt ... -
Modification of Asphalt Materials to Resist Studded-Tire Wear on Pavements
(ASCE, 2020)Studded tires are used during winter seasons to reduce snow- and ice-related accidents in several cold climate regions. However, during driving the studs in these tires progressively punch into the asphalt pavement and ... -
Performance Assessment of Bolted Extended End-Plate Moment Connections Constructed from Grade St-37 Steel Subjected to Fatigue
(ASCE, 2020)Most studies on the bolted extended end-plate (BEEP) moment connection have focused on the rotation capacity of the connection before the yielding of the connection members takes place, and effects of seismic low-cycle ... -
Material Parameters in Void Growth Model for G20Mn5QT Cast Steel: Calibration and Verification
(ASCE, 2020)Micromechanical fracture models, void growth model (VGM) and stress-modified critical strain (SMCS) model, can predict the ductile fracture of structural steels by investigating the growth of microvoids existing inside ... -
Effect of Temperature on pH, Conductivity, and Strength of Lime-Stabilized Soil
(ASCE, 2020)Lime is often used to increase strength, reduce compressibility, and reduce moisture sensitivity in soils with moderate to high plasticity. In the case of road construction, state agencies typically have specifications ... -
Prediction of Paving Performance for Epoxy Asphalt Mixture by Its Time- and Temperature-Dependent Properties
(ASCE, 2020)As a type of thermosetting material, any improper or faulty operation of the epoxy asphalt cannot be rectified if the irreversible reaction has taken place. This has brought difficulties to the construction organization ... -
Temperature Variation through Deep Multigrade Asphalt Pavements and Proposed Method for Accounting for Fluctuations
(ASCE, 2020)Multigrade bitumen asphalt is a quality asphalt product that is not used in many places globally. Multigrade bitumen is believed to be less sensitive to temperature, which gives it an advantage over conventional binders. ... -
Feasibility of Two Northeastern Species in Three-Layer ANSI-Approved Cross-Laminated Timber
(ASCE, 2020)Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive panel product made from orthogonal layers of solid-sawn lumber. Because of its composite nature and engineered layup, CLT provides the possibility of a substantial market for ... -
