Valorization of Boron Mine Tailings in Alkali-Activated Mortars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Mine tailings cause significant storage and environmental problems because a large amount of tailings containing potentially numerous hazardous contaminants is generated during mining operations. Therefore, the utilization ... -
Failure Criteria and Mechanical Properties of Recycled Concrete with Different Replacement Ratios of Coarse Aggregates under Multiaxial Compression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this paper, experiments of recycled aggregate concrete under multiaxial compression with five different replacement ratios (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) of coarse aggregates were implemented by using the true triaxial ... -
Mechanical Properties of Steel Bolts with Different Diameters after Exposure to High Temperatures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This research presents results from experimental studies of the mechanical behavior of steel bolts of Grade 8.8 and 10.9 after experiencing fire conditions. A significant number of steel bolts of Grade 8.8 and 10.9 of ... -
Behavior of Clayey Soil Reinforced with Polyethylene Terephthalate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Every year millions of bottles of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are discarded into the environment, when in fact these materials have a high potential to be recycled and/or beneficially reused. This study aims to evaluate ... -
Effect of Brick Prewetting on Masonry Bond Strength
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Masonry walls resist both in-plane and out-of-plane forces through the bond between the brick unit and mortar. Moisture content or saturation level of the brick unit at the time of construction is one of the key contributing ... -
Thermal Effect on Rheological Properties of Epoxy Asphalt Mixture and Stress Prediction for Bridge Deck Paving
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Epoxy asphalt mixture has been widely used as an excellent paving material on long-span steel bridges; however, low-temperature cracking is a significant concern for paving on an orthotropic steel deck. Analysis of ... -
Strength and Stiffness of Ground Waste Glass–Carbide Lime Blends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Waste from soda–lime glass is a solid waste usually available near urban centers. This study examines the potential use of such a material as a construction component. Finely ground waste glass mixed with carbide lime might ... -
Effect of Polyacrylamide on Improvement of Dredger Fill with Vacuum Preloading Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Dredger fill possesses undesirable engineering properties due to high water content, compressibility, and low permeability, causing insufficient consolidation and long treatment periods using a vacuum preloading method. ... -
Analysis of the ASTM C512 Spring-Loaded CREEP Frame
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The test method of ASTM C512 (ASTM. 2015. Standard test method for creep of concrete in compression. ASTM C512/C512M. West Conshohocken, PA: ASTM) dictates the use of a spring-loaded creep frame to perform a creep test on ... -
Alkali-Activated Mortar for Tunnel-Lining Structure Repair
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)With the aging of tunnel structures, rehabilitation and repair has become an increasingly important part of tunnel maintenance. This paper investigates the use of alkali-activated mortar for tunnel-lining structure repair. ... -
Effects of Cyclic Freeze and Thaw on Engineering Properties of Compacted Loess and Lime-Stabilized Loess
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Loess is a problematic soil, which is often characterized with loose structure and high potential for collapse by water or external loads. In cold regions, the challenge of loess is further compounded by the seasonally ... -
Quantitative Study of Coupled Effect of Soil Acidity and Saturation on Corrosion and Microstructure of Buried Cast Iron
