Prediction of the Compressive Strength from Resonant Frequency for Low-Calcium Fly Ash–Based Geopolymer Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study focuses on using fly ash to produce a cement-free geopolymer concrete. The combination of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and potassium silicate solution (K2SiO3) was used as the alkaline activator to initiate the ... -
Laboratory Research on the Properties of Warm Amorphous Poly Alpha Olefin–Modified Asphalt Mixture Using Sasobit and Deurex
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of warm mix additive Sasobit and Deurex on the properties of amorphous poly alpha olefin (APAO) modified asphalt (AMB) mixture. Marshall stability (MS) and indirect ... -
Accelerated Life Testing of Reinforced Concrete Based on Performance Degradation and Reliability Modeling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper proposes a design for a testing program for accelerated life testing of reinforced concrete in the sulfite saline soil area. According to the situation of saline soil area, a constant current was used to accelerate ... -
Beyond the Sorptivity: Definition, Measurement, and Properties of the Secondary Sorptivity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Capillary imbibition in brick, stone, and concrete occurs in two stages. The primary process, which occurs in the standard test to measure sorptivity, is a spontaneous imbibition in which air is displaced by the invading ... -
Hydromechanical Characterization of Soil-Rockfill Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In order to improve the rather insufficient knowledge about the hydromechanical behavior of soil–rockfill mixtures (SRMs) applied in embankment dams, a testing program was undertaken in which several mixtures with different ... -
Experimental Investigation of the Compressive Behavior of RCC under High Strain Rates: Considering the Rolling Technique and Layered Structure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is widely used in civil engineering, and its compressive behavior is commonly agreed to be affected by thin layers and the vibration rolling technique, which is different from conventional ... -
Long-Term Mechanical Properties of Steel–Concrete Connectors Subjected to Corrosion and Load Coupling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Steel–concrete composite structures are widely used in modern buildings and bridges for their great rigidity, light weight, and simple construction. However, the mechanical behaviors of steel–concrete composite structures ... -
Properties of Self-Consolidating Engineered Cementitious Composite Modified with Rubber
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study aims to investigate the feasibility of utilizing waste rubber as a partial replacement for silica sand in the development of self-consolidating engineered cementitious composite (SCECC). The effects of the ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In the quest to develop a green cement composite with the lowest possible carbon footprint and the highest possible use of industrial by-products, an experimental investigation was undertaken, replacing 1% of ordinary ... -
The Impact of the Particle Size Distribution of Organic Additives on the Microstructure of a Clay Ceramic and Its Thermal and Mechanical Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, the structure-property relationships of a clay ceramic with calibrated particles (1 or 5 μm) of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) were investigated to improve both the thermal and mechanical properties of fired ... -
Welding of Historic Structural Wrought Iron
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A research program directed at the study of welding historic wrought iron using modern welding methods has been conducted over the last several years at the University of Colorado Denver. Shielded metal arc welding methods ... -
Mechanical Performance Assessment of Bolted Glulam Joints with Local Cracks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Cracks are commonly observed in glulam joints even though the members have yet to experience the design load level. The cracks are commonly formed by tensile stress perpendicular to grain and are induced by shrinkage of ... -
Mechanical Behavior of RC and SFRC Precast Tunnel Lining Segments under Chloride Ions Exposure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The structural integrity of precast concrete tunnel lining (PCTL) segments largely depends on its durability performance. The ingress of chloride ions into PCTL segments can induce reinforcement corrosion, which has been ... -
Crack Healing in Cementitious Mortars Using Enzyme-Induced Carbonate Precipitation: Quantification Based on Fracture Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper evaluates a nonmicrobial means of carbonate precipitation to heal cracks in concrete. Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) that relies on plant-derived urease enzyme is used to catalyze the reaction ... -
Shear Strength between Poroelastic Road Surface and Sublayer with Different Bonding Agents
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Insufficient bonding strength between a poroelastic road surface (PERS) and a sublayer usually induces premature delamination failure. The objective of this paper was to investigate the shear bonding strength of the ... -
