(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)One of the most destructive environmental issues around the world is the disposal of construction and demolition (C&D) wastes such as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), crushed rock (CR), waste glass, and scrap tire. ... -
g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> Composite Photocatalyst and Its Application to Asphalt for NO Removal
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Automobile exhaust emission has become one of the environmental problems that cannot be ignored. In order to improve the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide (TiO2), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)/TiO2 was prepared, ... -
Effect of Fibers and Expansive Agent on Shrinkage of Self-Consolidating Concrete under Two Curing Schemes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Adding the proper amount of expansive agent (EA) to concrete is an effective way to control shrinkage cracking. Fiber can be treated as a secondary reinforcement for controlling shrinkage and improving the crack resistance ... -
Experimental Investigation of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Masonry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The strength and stiffness characteristics of infill masonry wall significantly influence the behavior of reinforced concrete framed structures. Although such characteristics for conventional masonry infill walls, like ... -
Key Factors and Optimal Conditions for Self-Healing of Bituminous Binder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)To identify the key influencing factors and optimal healing conditions for the self-healing ability of bituminous binders, a fatigue-healing-fatigue test was performed under different conditions by the time-sweep mode of ... -
Fracture Mechanism and Damage Evaluation of FRP/Steel–Concrete Hybrid Girder Using Acoustic Emission Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The damage monitoring and evaluation of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)/steel–concrete hybrid box girder subjected to four-point bending is reported in this paper. The target is to integrate the improved mechanical behavior ... -
Compressive Strength Estimates of Adiabatically Cured Concretes Using Maturity Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The strength development of standard and adiabatically cured concretes was determined. The concrete mixtures had 28-day cube strengths of 30 and 50 MPa. For both strength classes, portland cement (PC) was partially ... -
Influence of Temperature and Duration of Thermal Treatment on Properties of Excavated Soil as Fine Aggregate in Cement Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In the interest of utilizing high-plasticity excavation soil as a replacement for fine aggregate in cement mortar, a study on the thermal treatment of soils containing 25% and 40% clay fractions was carried out. A range ... -
Mechanistic Analysis and Economic Benefits of Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Fatigue cracking and permanent deformation (rutting) are major distresses that occur in flexible pavements. One of the most significant solutions to prolong the fatigue life as well as rutting resistance for an asphaltic ... -
Effect of Warm-Mix Additives and Lime on Intermediate-Temperature Fracture Property of RET- and PPA-Modified Asphalt Binder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Asphalt binder phase plays a significant role in cracking resistance of asphaltic mixture. Therefore, selection of appropriate asphalt binder combination becomes important, especially when asphaltic pavement is expected ... -
Recycled Concrete Aggregate Modified with Polyvinyl Alcohol and Fly Ash for Concrete Pavement Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is traditionally limited to nonstructural applications. Although the crushing process results in weak mortar particles and surface cracks throughout the RCA, RCA concrete can be employed ... -
Nanomodified Methyl Methacrylate Polymer for Sealing of Microscale Defects in Wellbore Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Microscale defects (microannuli) at the steel-cement and rock-cement interfaces are a major cause of failure in the integrity of wellbore systems. Microscale defects/microcracks as small as 30 μm are sufficient to ... -
