Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties of Polymer-Amended Kaolinite and Fly Ash–Kaolinite Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Environmentally and ecologically friendly biopolymers (xanthan gum, chitosan) and synthetic polymers (polyethylene oxide, polyacrylamide) were employed as novel binders to improve the engineering performance of kaolinite ... -
Using Frequency Sweep Test to Predict Creep and Recovery Response of Asphalt Binders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper presents a methodology to obtain creep and recovery response of asphalt binders merely by using frequency sweep tests, which are relatively easier to conduct. This proposed methodology would be useful for ... -
Characterization of Recycled Concrete Aggregate after Eight Years of Field Deployment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is a high-quality substitute for virgin aggregate as base or subgrade material in pavement construction. However, heavy metal leaching and/or production of high pH leachate are environmental ... -
Stiffness and Fatigue Behavior of Emulsified Cold Recycled Mixture Containing Waste Powder Additives: Mechanical and Microstructural Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In recent years, due to economic and environmental considerations, the use of waste additives has been highly regarded in pavements. In the case of emulsified cold recycled mixtures (ECRMs), waste additives with pozzolanic ... -
Hysteresis and Dynamic Response Features of Concrete Exposed to Repeated Multilevel Compressive Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Repeated loading can produce serious hazards to concrete constructions. In this work, hysteresis and dynamic response characteristics of concrete subjected to repeated multilevel compressive loading are investigated through ... -
Assessments of Potential Service Characteristics of Ethanol and Ethanol-NaHCO3 Foamed WMA Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In the field, the workability and compactability of asphalt mixtures are essential to obtain the desired smoothness and sufficient density of a compacted pavement, especially for the asphalt mixtures prepared at low ... -
Effect of Temperature on Mechanical Performance and Tensoresistivity of a New Sensor-Enabled Geosynthetic Material
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In geotechnical engineering, geosynthetics are widely used as a reinforcement material for its numerous advantages. Moreover, its strain monitoring is increasingly crucial to ensure the safety of reinforced geotechnical ... -
Effect of Mellowing and Coal Fly Ash Addition on Behavior of Sulfate-Rich Dispersive Clay after Lime Stabilization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Dispersivity and swelling induced by the formation of expansive minerals are deleterious phenomena that can be observed in natural and treated soils. The former is common among sodium-rich soils that are characterized by ... -

Thermal Behavior of an Intumescent Alkaline Aluminosilicate Composite Material for Fire Protection of Structural Elements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The behavior of a composite material, consisting of metakaolin-based alkaline aluminosilicate binder, granules of the same initial composition used as a swelling agent, and calcium carbonate, was studied during firing in ... -
Performance Evaluation of Lime-Based Grout Used for Consolidation of Brick Masonry Walls
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study investigated the rheological, physical, and mechanical properties and injectability of commercially available lime-based grout, and evaluated the performance of the grout injection via cylinder injection and ... -
Comparison of Effects of Different Nutrients on Stimulating Indigenous Soil Bacteria for Biocementation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Microbiologically induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is a biogeochemical process in which calcite is precipitated within the soil environment due to microorganism activity. Because soil properties are highly influenced ... -
Durability and Interfacial Properties of Concrete with Nanosilica-Modified Mortar Cover
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Durability is a major concern with concrete structures. The ion transport properties of concrete cover can greatly influence the durability of concrete structures since most of the deterioration starts from the surface. ... -
