Reuse of Stabilized Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Fly Ash in Asphalt Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A laboratory investigation evaluates the potential of using stabilized fly ash from municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWIs) as a filler in asphalt mixtures. Nine asphalt mixtures composed of the same aggregate gradation ... -
Effect of Competitive Adsorption between Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer and Hydroxypropylmethyl Cellulose on Rheology of Gypsum Paste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)High-fluidity gypsum-based materials have been widely used in grouting materials, self-leveling floors, wall materials, and three-dimensional (3D) printing materials. High fluidity means excellent workability without any ... -
Reuse of Waste Ferrochrome Slag in the Production of Mortar with Improved Thermal and Mechanical Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study focuses on the reuse of waste ferrochrome (FeCr) slag as a partial replacement for sand in the production of cement mortar with improved thermal and mechanical properties. Sand was replaced by FeCr slag in ... -
Effect of Artesian Pressure on Consolidation Behavior of Drainage-Installed Marine Clay Deposit
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Marine clay deposits in Busan are subjected to artesian pressure from an aquifer. To estimate the effects of artesian pressure on the consolidation behavior of drainage-installed deposits in Busan, a series of large ... -
Use of Treated Wastewater in the Construction of Base Course Layers for Sustainable Pavement Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study was conducted to investigate the potential of using treated wastewater in the compaction of base course layers in pavement structures. Three different types of base course material and two sources of treated ... -
Influence of Substrate Characteristics on Behavior of Applied Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A facade coating that still has wide applicability is mortar render, whether it is made with lime or cement, whether it is a predosed composition or traditionally made in situ, and whether it is applied in new constructions ... -
Accelerated Corrosion Behavior of Steel in Concrete Subjected to Sustained Flexural Loading Using Electrochemical Methods and X-Ray Computed Tomography
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, the effect of flexural loading on the chloride-induced corrosion behavior of steels in large-sized concrete was characterized using various electrochemical methods and X-ray computed tomography (X-CT). ... -
Dynamic Properties of Controlled Low-Strength Materials with Treated Oil Sand Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The use of controlled low-strength materials (CLSM) is rapidly expanding in many geotechnical applications as designer backfill, especially foundations subjected to dynamic loading. This paper investigates the effects of ... -
Behavior of Alkali-Activated Metakaolin Pastes Blended with Quartz Powder Exposed to Seawater Attack
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The purpose of this work is to investigate the resistance of alkali-activated metakaolin (AAMK) paste specimens blended with different amounts of quartz powder (QP) against different environmental conditions. Metakaolin ... -
End-Friction Effect on Concrete Cubes with Passive Confinement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)True-triaxial test data are fundamental in obtaining the constitutive laws of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)—confined concrete, especially concrete under nonuniform (passive) confinement. A new true-triaxial test system, ... -
Geotechnical Properties of Pond Ash Mixed with Cement Kiln Dust and Polypropylene Fiber
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Pond ash (PA) and cement kiln dust (CKD) are major dust products from thermal power stations and cement manufacturing industries and pose disposal difficulties. This research work focuses on the geotechnical properties of ... -
