Predicting Pullout Resistance of Bearing Reinforcement Embedded in Cohesive-Frictional Soils
(ASCE, 2020)Bearing reinforcement is an inextensible reinforcement type that is manufactured by welding strongly between a longitudinal member and a set of transverse members. The pullout capacity of the bearing reinforcement comprises ... -
Water Permeability and Sulfate Resistance of Eco-Friendly High-Strength Concrete Composed of Ground Bagasse Ash and Recycled Concrete Aggregate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study is centered on the use of ground bagasse ash (GBA) and recycled concrete aggregate (R-CA) as raw materials to produce ecofriendly high-strength concrete (HS-C) with high durability. Specifically, GBA with high ... -
Environmental Effects on Conductive Surface Sensors and Pattern Applications for Concrete Crack Localization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Detection of degradation has the potential to improve the long-term performance and integrity of concrete structures and pavements. Conductive surface sensors, specifically conductive paints, have been shown to be effective ... -
Strain-Softening Response and Failure Prediction in Notched Oriented Strand Board
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The strain-softening response and failure of oriented strand boards (OSBs) were investigated both experimentally and numerically. Standard tests were used to characterize the elastic (modulus of elasticity) as well as ... -
Rheological Properties of Cement Pastes with Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers of Varied Backbone Stiffness
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Polycarboxylate (PCE) superplasticizers greatly affect the rheological properties of cementitious materials. Yet, the systematical influence of the PCE structure parameter on the rheological properties of cement paste is ... -
Effect of Water Content on Volumetric and Mechanical Properties of Cement Bitumen Emulsion Mixture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Water greatly affects the mechanical properties of cement bitumen emulsion mixture (CBEM). Its content is usually determined by the minimum voids content of CBEM. However, its effect on the mechanical properties of CBEM ... -
Performance Evaluation of Epoxy-Asphalt Mixture Blended with Glass Aggregate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Applying glass aggregate in asphalt mixtures is an effective approach to addressing environmental pollution. In this research, epoxy asphalt was adopted instead of conventional asphalt. The experiments were performed to ... -
Effect of Compaction Methods on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Asphalt Mixture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this work, the reliability of the vertical vibration testing method (VVTM) is verified using laboratory and field tests. Then, the VVTM, Marshall compaction method (MCM), and modified Marshall compaction method (MMCM) ... -
Effect of SARA on Rheological Properties of Asphalt Binders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)As the basic chemical components of asphalt binders, the fractions of saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes (SARA) have crucial effects on the rheological properties of such binders. Thus, two kinds of neat asphalt ... -
Performance Assessment of Hot-Asphalt Mixtures Produced with By-product Aggregates under Repetitive Heavy Traffic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Typically, aggregates used for asphalt mixtures consist mainly of natural aggregates such as crushed rock and gravel. Sometimes the natural aggregates are substituted with limited amounts of industrial by-products, such ... -
Sulfate-Heaving Studies on Chemically Treated Sulfate-Rich Geomaterials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Sulfate heaving often occurs when soils rich with sulfates are treated with calcium-based stabilizers such as lime and cement materials. This heaving has inflicted severe distress on several transportation infrastructure ... -
Pullout Behavior of Hook End Steel Fibers in Geopolymers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper discusses the pullout load-displacement behavior of hook end steel fibers having double, triple, and quadruple bends in their ends in geopolymers and cement mortars. Two types of geopolymer are considered, heat ... -
Using Calcined Waste Eggshells to Remove Sulfate in Nonpotable Concrete Mixing Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The experimental and theoretical potential of using calcined waste eggshells (CWEs) to remove sulfate from sulfate-laden concrete mixing water was investigated in this work. Waste eggshells were first calcined at 800°C and ... -
Substitution of Coarse Aggregates with Mollusk-Shell Waste in Acoustic-Absorbing Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Most of the aggregates in construction material come nowadays from the quarrying of natural resources, and their consumption tends to rise. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total substitution of traditional natural ... -
Experimental Study on Strength and Microstructure of Cemented Soil with Different Suctions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The use of cement as curing agent to increase the strength of soft ground and reduce the deformation of soft soils has been widely adopted in soft soil engineering. The cemented soil is eventually exposed to the air, and ... -
