Refining the Calculation Method for Fatigue Failure Criterion of Asphalt Binder from Linear Amplitude Sweep Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The objective of this paper is to refine the calculation method for improving the regression accuracy of fatigue failure criterion of asphalt binder using the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test, especially for the highly ... -
Effect of Strain Rate on Compressive Behavior and Modeling of Cement and Asphalt Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The compressive behavior of cement and asphalt mortar (CA mortar, including Types I and II CA mortar, namely CAI and CAII) under strain rates ranging from 1−5/s to 1−2/s was experimentally investigated using an electrohydraulic ... -
Role of Cementation and Suction in the Swelling Behavior of Lime-Treated Expansive Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)When cured in the field, unsaturated lime-treated expansive soils will undergo concurrent development of lime cementation and suction stress. This study aims to assess the relative roles of lime cementation and suction ... -
Material Damping of Concrete under Cyclic Axial Compression
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Damping properties have important effects on the dynamic behavior of civil engineering structures. However, the influence of load on the material damping of concrete has not been studied systematically. This paper used an ... -
Feasibility of Impulse Response Test for Characterizing Railway Ballasts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The contamination of ballast (a.k.a. ballast fouling) because of the intrusion of clay, rock dust, coal dust, or any other agent accelerates track degradation and affects the stability of the ballast in particular and the ... -
Advancements in Concrete Mix Designs: High-Performance and Ultrahigh-Performance Concretes from 1970 to 2016
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper reviews the methods adopted to produce high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC). The chronological development of these concretes in terms of their constituents, mixture proportions, ... -
Computational Modeling of Laminated Veneer Bamboo Dowel Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Laminated veneer bamboo (LVB) is a relatively new building product made from layers of glued bamboo and used in applications similar to lumber. Few studies exist on its mechanical performance; in particular, its failure ... -
Effects of Mixing Time and Revolution Count on Characteristics of Blended Cement Containing Rice Husk Ash
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Standard specifications for ready-mixed concrete (RMC) specify a limit of mixing time and revolution count of a RMC truck. More than half of today’s RMC contains a blended cement and chemical admixture. For this reason, ... -
Engineering Properties and Bonding Behavior of Self-Compacting Concrete Made with No-Cement Binder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study explores the engineering properties of a new self-compacting concrete (SCC), named as SFC-SCC, produced with a no-cement SFC binder and the bonding behaviors of embedded steel bar confined by this SFC-SCC using ... -
Shear-Thickening Behavior of Cement Pastes under Combined Effects of Mineral Admixture and Time
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The fresh-state behavior of plain and silica fume (SF)-modified cement pastes was measured using a wide-gap viscometer. The Herschel–Bulkley (H–B) model was used to describe the rheology of fresh cement pastes. The H–B ... -
Impacts of Coarse-Aggregate Gradation on the Workability of Slip-Formed Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Choosing an aggregate gradation is an important step in the design of concrete mixtures. This work presents a systematic laboratory study to find practical limits for the workability and finishability of these mixtures for ... -
Numerical and Experimental Studies of Diffusion Law of Grouting with Expansible Polymer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Polyurethane has been widely used as new chemical grouting material. Expansion characteristics caused by chemical reactions make polymer grout different from other types of grout. To throw light on the diffusion process ... -
Numerical Evaluation of Rutting in Rubberized Asphalt Mixture Using Finite Element Modeling Based on Experimental Viscoelastic Properties
