Evaluation of the Load Dissipation Behavior of Concrete Block Pavements with Various Block Shapes and Construction Patterns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In concrete block pavement, individual blocks are laid in a predetermined pattern to create a surface interlocked with joint filler that has some discontinuities rather than continuous paving. The overall structural stability ... -
Influence of Cellulose Filaments on Cement Paste and Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In light of the current increasing interest toward nanomaterials for concrete technology, it appears that nanocellulose (with its incredible properties) can shape a promising sustainable candidate. This study investigates ... -
Comparison of Cast-In-Situ and Prefabricated UHTCC Repair Systems under Bending
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Ultrahigh-toughness cementitious composite (UHTCC) is a new type of cementitious material that is suitable for durability repair of deteriorated concrete structures. One of the key issues in this repair technology is the ... -
Lateral Performance of As-Built and Retrofitted Timber Diaphragm Fastener Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The in-plane stiffness of timber diaphragms commonly found in vintage unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is largely determined by the rigidity of the fastener connections. Currently in the literature, however, there is ... -
Aggregate Morphological Characterization with 3D Optical Scanner versus X-Ray Computed Tomography
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In quantifying the morphological features of aggregate, X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of the most popularly used approaches for capturing aggregate images that is considered accurate and reliable. In this study, ... -
Rheological Investigations on Warm Mix Asphalt Binders at High and Intermediate Temperature Ranges
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Warm mix asphalt (WMA) technology is used to reduce mixing and compaction temperature of the binder; however, such addition is also expected to influence the rheological response of the binder during pavement service. This ... -
Investigation on the Influence of Air Voids and Active Filler on the Mechanical Response of Bitumen Stabilized Material
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Cold in-place recycling technology for reclaimed material in pavement rehabilitation holds promise as a solution to resource scarcity. This paper reports results of a systematic experimental investigation of the material ... -
Preparation and Characterization of an Eco-Friendly Binder from Alkali-Activated Aluminosilicate Solid Industrial Wastes Containing CKD and GGBS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This work aims to prepare an eco-friendly binder from alkali-activated aluminosilicate solid industrial wastes. Eco-friendly binders provide a solution to the present ecological problem of producing non-portland-cement ... -
Pore Structure Characterization of Pervious Concrete Using X-Ray Microcomputed Tomography
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Pervious concrete (PC) is a class of porous materials that has found application in building materials, specifically in pavements, for its stormwater mitigation abilities. X-ray microcomputed tomography was used to understand ... -
Rheology-Based Protocol to Establish Admixture Compatibility in Dense Cementitious Suspensions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Chemical admixtures are often added to concentrated cementitious suspensions in an effort to adjust their (1) rheology, i.e., yield stress and viscosity; (2) time of set, i.e., when plasticity is lost; and ... -
Corrosion Resistance of Construction Steel in Conditions of Simultaneous Dynamic Loading and Chloride-Containing Corrosive Environment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the main focus of many studies on condition assessment of road infrastructure. The major uncertainty involves the behavior of steel rebar during dynamic loading imposed by traffic. ... -
Hydraulic Characterization of a Pervious Concrete for Deep Draining Trenches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Reduction in pore water pressure is a useful strategy to improve the stability of slopes. Deep draining trenches can be used for this purpose. For the realization of deep trenches, the usual conventional construction ... -
