Shear Properties of PVDF-Coated Fabrics under Multicyclic Biaxial Bias Extension
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, the multicyclic biaxial bias extension test using cruciform specimens with 45°-oriented fibers was carried on an advanced biaxial tensile tester, and three different shear loading histories (SLHs) were ... -
Effect of Construction Cracks on the Tensile and Bond Strength of Asphalt Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Traffic loads and environmental (climate) conditions are among the most important variables governing the long-term performance of asphalt pavement developed by pavement designers. Several studies done at Carleton University ... -
Effect of Manganese Dioxide Nanorods on the Thermoelectric Properties of Cement Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The Seebeck coefficient of plain cement paste is usually less than 1 μV/°C. To enhance the thermoelectric performance of cement composites, a kind of MnO2 powder was synthesized and used as a thermoelectric component in ... -
Evaluation of Abrasion Resistance of Self-Consolidating Rubberized Concrete by Acoustic Emission Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the abrasion resistance of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) with crumb rubber (CR) in conjunction with acoustic emission (AE) monitoring. The variables were the ... -
Estimation of Blending of Rap Binder in a Recycled Asphalt Pavement Mix
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Many of the recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) mix design methods assume 1% blending of the RAP binder with virgin binder to estimate the properties of the binder in the RAP mix. However, 1% blending is not practically achieved. ... -
Feasibility of Alkali-Activated Slag Paste as Injection Material for Rehabilitation of Concrete Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have recently been used as a suitable replacement for conventional ordinary portland cement (OPC) mixtures. This study evaluates rheological, injectability, and mechanical properties of ... -
Failure Criterion of Ordinary Concrete Subjected to Triaxial Compression of Full Section and Local Loadings
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, experiments carried out on ordinary concrete under multiaxial compression of both full section and local section are presented and the failure modes compared under different loading conditions. According to ... -
Manufacturing Concrete with High Compressive Strength Using Recycled Aggregates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, a method of developing high-strength concrete from recycled aggregates is proposed based on particle packing optimization (PPO) methods and presoaking of recycled aggregates. A total of 3 samples of concrete ... -
Utilization of Copper Mine Tailings as Road Base Construction Material through Geopolymerization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper investigates the utilization of copper mine tailings (MT) as an alternative road base construction material through geopolymerization. Specifically, MT was mixed with different amounts of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) ... -
New Approach for Predicting Particle Breakage of Granular Material Using the Grey System Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a quantitative analysis and prediction of the process of particle breakage, from the initial state of one particle size fraction (PSF) to the ultimate state of stable grading. The effect of particle ... -
Curing Method and Mix Design Evaluation of a Styrene-Acrylic Based Liquid Polymer for Sand and Clay Stabilization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The curing of soil specimens treated with a liquid polymer soil stabilizer of styrene acrylic family was studied through an extensive laboratory testing program. First, the effect of different curing environments including ... -
Clinker Efficiency in the Treatment of Low-Plasticity Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presented some geotechnical characteristics of low plasticity clay (LPC) treated with clinker in comparison with those of ordinary portland cement (OPC) treated LPC. The chosen percentages of both additives were ... -
Impact of Severe Climate Conditions on Loss of Mass, Strength, and Stiffness of Compacted Fine-Grained Soils–Portland Cement Blends
