Rheological Characteristics of Polyphosphoric Acid–Modified Asphalt Mastic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) were employed to characterize the rheological properties of asphalt modified with polyphosphoric acid (PPA) and containing different mineral ... -
Strength Development of Soil–Fly Ash Geopolymer: Assessment of Soil, Fly Ash, Alkali Activators, and Water
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, fly ash was added to residual soil to produce soil–fly ash geopolymer bricks. This study investigated the effects of fly ash/soil, alkali activator/ash, Na2SiO3/KOH (or NaOH), additional water content, curing ... -
Photoluminescent Road Coatings for Open-Graded and Dense-Graded Asphalts: Theoretical and Experimental Investigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Road safety builds on traffic and driver–infrastructure interaction: nighttime visibility represents a key-aspect of this complex interaction. Therefore, providing an adequate road lighting system and improving drivers’ ... -
Laboratory Testing of Rheological Behavior of Water-Foamed Bitumen
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)From the rheological behavior of bitumen, one can understand the physical properties of water-foamed bitumen used in warm mix asphalt. Previously, rheological behaviors of water-foamed bitumen such as apparent viscosity, ... -
Effect of Polyurethane Viscosity on Self-Healing Efficiency of Cementitious Materials Exposed to High Temperatures from Sun Radiation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Insulated concrete elements used in building facades, e.g., sandwich panels, are frequently exposed to sun radiation, which causes high temperatures on the outside. Although the inner and outer cladding are supposed ... -
Effect of Bactericide on the Deterioration of Concrete Against Sewage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Antimicrobial concrete is an initial and effective measure to control microbially induced deterioration (MID) of concrete. In this study, five kinds of bactericides were added to concrete, and the changes in weight, strength, ... -
Evaluation of Ponded Ash as a Sustainable Backfill Material
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The main aim of this research is to evaluate the applicability of ponded ash in the production of backfill material. Many experiments were conducted to analyze both fresh and hardened characteristics of backfill material ... -
Preparation Methods and Performance of Modified Asphalt Using Rubber–Plastic Alloy and Its Compounds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, two types of modified asphalts were prepared via two different approaches, using as modifiers waste rubber and plastic and other raw materials. One approach followed a two-step mechanism of melting-blending ... -
Interlaminar Performance of Waterproof and Cohesive Materials for Concrete Bridge Deck under Specific Test Conditions
