Development and Characterization of Fly Ash–Slag Blended Geopolymer Mortar and Lightweight Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A synopsis of an experimental program on the development of a sustainable fly ash–slag blended geopolymer mortar (GPM) and lightweight geopolymer concrete (LGPC) is presented. Geopolymer mortar mixes were prepared incorporating ... -
Untitled
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The morphology of aggregates has a significant effect on the mechanical performance of aggregate-based materials such as asphalt concrete and cement concrete. This paper obtains shape indexes of aggregates, including ... -
Enhancing Mechanical Properties of Pervious Concrete Using Carbon Fiber Composite Reinforcement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Cured carbon fiber composite material (CCFCM) is available from manufacturing lines; however, excess CCFCM has no reuse applications at present. Postindustrial CCFCM was mechanically refined and used as reinforcement to ... -
Long-Term Performance of Pultruded Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer Profiles under Acidic Conditions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study experimentally investigated the degradation of tensile properties of basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) profiles under acidic conditions. The effects of the temperature, pH value, and BFRP thickness were ... -
Gradation Segregation Analysis of Warm Mix Asphalt Mixture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this study, properties of warm mix asphalt (WMA) compacted with various levels of gradation segregation were evaluated in the laboratory. Six segregated gradations were designed to compare with the control gradation and ... -
Effects of Different Aging Methods on Chemical and Rheological Properties of Bitumen
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Bitumen undergoes ageing, which leads to changes in its chemical and rheological properties, causing it to become harder and more brittle with time. This study aims to compare the effects of different laboratory ageing ... -
Mechanical and Physical Properties of Laterite Bricks Reinforced with Reprocessed Polyethylene Waste for Building Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the mechanical and physical properties of reprocessed polyethylene (PE) waste as reinforcement in laterite bricks for sustainable building applications. The bricks ... -
Cyclic Shear-Lag Model of Steel Bolt for Concrete Subjected to Impact Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper presents a new cyclic piecewise linear pull-out push-in shear-lag material model representing the local bond behavior of preconstruction-installed steel anchor bolts for concrete. Impact loading resulting from ... -
Application of Lignin-Stabilized Silty Soil in Highway Subgrade: A Macroscale Laboratory Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Lignin is an industrial by-product, stockpiles of which are rapidly increasing worldwide due to growing demand. Highway subgrade construction has been identified as one of the viable answers to consume huge quantities of ... -
Viscosity-Based Complex Modulus and Phase-Angle Predictive Models for the Superpave Asphalt Mixtures of New Mexico
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The recently developed mechanistic-empirical design method of pavement uses the nationally calibrated dynamic modulus predictive model for the design and analysis of asphalt pavements. This study calibrates this model for ... -
Na2SO4 Salt Weathering of Calcium Sulfoaluminate Cement Paste Partially Immersed in a Na2CO3 Solution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Na2CO3 is considered to be a salt that causes destructive weathering distress on cementitious materials. In this paper, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement paste was partially immersed in a 1% Na2CO3 solution under constant ... -
Influence of Cementing Paste Volume on Properties of Controlled Low Strength Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Controlled low strength materials (CLSM) are gaining increasing importance with the growing emphasis on sustainability in the construction industry. Controlled low strength material can be a valuable application for the ... -
Effects of Polyacrylamide on the Consolidation Behavior of Dredged Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Dealing with dredged clay with high water content has become a difficult issue in recent years. The admixture addition of polyacrylamide (PAM) to dredged clay to improve its poor engineering properties has become a trend. ... -
