Predicting the Bending Yield Strength of Timber Frame Pegs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Timber frame connections commonly use mortise and tenon connections secured by wooden pegs. The calculation of peg connection strength depends upon the joint dimensions, material properties of the mortise and tenon, and ... -
Evaluation of Cement-Based Grout for Reinforcing Unsafe Rocks of Stone Carvings at Hangzhou Klippe in China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Cement-based grouting materials can be applied to reinforce unsafe rocks of stone carvings that are attached to or carved out of cliffs. However, studies on the evaluation, that is, the pros and cons of the applied grouting ... -
Mechanical and Microstructural Study of RAP–Clay Composites Containing Bitumen Emulsion and Lime
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Full-depth reclamation of asphalt pavement and underlying materials is one of the most effective methods of rehabilitation for severely deteriorated roads. This paper examines the feasibility of using clay at different ... -
Behavior of Laterally Top-Loaded Deep Foundations in Highly Porous and Collapsible Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Problems associated with horizontal loading in foundation structures often occur when the surface soil has particular characteristics like the unsaturated, porous, and collapsible soils that are very common in Brazil. In ... -
g-C3N4/TiO2 Photocatalyst and Its Performance of NO Degradation in Emulsified Asphalt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This study prepared one g-C3N4/TiO2 composite photocatalyst by calcinating a mixture of melamine and nano TiO2, and then mixed it with asphalts to photodegrade the NO produced by automobile exhaust. The melamine and TiO2 ... -
Effect of Curing Methods on Quality of Concrete Joints: Experimental and Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Joint deterioration in concrete pavements is predominantly related to penetrability of concrete and environmental conditions. Saw-cutting as the last procedure in the construction sequence of concrete pavements may compromise ... -
New Method for Investigating Crack Development in Concrete Using an Ultrahigh-Speed Camera
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Cracks are ubiquitous in concrete materials and can destabilize a concrete structure, regardless of size or type. This study focuses on the cracking behavior of main and branching cracks in concrete. Compression tests and ... -
Experimental Study on Marl Soil Stabilization Using Natural Pozzolans
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Due to the construction of more civil engineering structures on problematic soils, numerous ground improvement techniques such as soil stabilization have been developed. A wide variety of characteristics and engineering ... -
Multiple Impact Resistance of Hybrid Fiber Ultrahigh Toughness Cementitious Composites with Different Degrees of Initial Damage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)In this research, the multiple impact resistance of hybrid fiber ultrahigh toughness cementitious composites (UHTCC) was studied. By varying the impact velocity, different degrees of initial damage were first induced in ... -
Relation between Tensile Strength and Modulus of Rupture for GFRP Reinforcing Bars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper presents an investigation correlating tensile properties of glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars with the results obtained from flexural testing. Composite bars, in contrast to conventional steel, when ... -
Behavior of Hot-Mix Asphalt Containing Blast Furnace Slag as Aggregate: Evaluation by Mass and Volume Substitution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Significant amounts of blast furnace slag (BFS) are generated daily as by-product from iron and steel industries. This waste material usually has interesting physical properties and mineralogical and chemical composition, ... -
Relationship of Coefficient of Permeability, Porosity, and Air Voids in Fine-Graded HMA
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the coefficient of permeability, porosity, and voids in total mixture (VTM) of fine-graded hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Two fine-graded HMA mixtures used in ... -
Use of Sustainable Binders in Soil Stabilization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)The procedure of soil treatment with industrial and domestic wastes such as ground glass and coal ash (acting as pozzolans) and carbide lime is a sustainable practice when the assignment involves amendment of the native ... -
Solidification and Stabilization of Sewage Sludge and MSWI Bottom Ash for Beneficial Use as Construction Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)This paper investigates the feasibility of converting municipal sewage sludge and municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash to a construction material for the dikes of a sludge-only containment. The sewage sludge ... -
Effective Tensile Strength of Lightly Cemented Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)An indentation test was developed to indirectly determine the effective tensile strength of lightly cemented sand by iterative method. The description of the test is followed by a discussion and comparison of the determination ... -
