(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents the development of nanomodified fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (FRCC) mixtures. A total of seven mixtures were prepared using general use cement and a constant dosage of slag (40% replacement ... -
Swelling Behavior Evaluation of a Lime-Treated Expansive Soil through Centrifuge Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The main objectives of this research are to investigate the effect of hydrated lime (HL) treatment on the swelling behavior of a natural expansive soil, Eagle Ford clay from Texas, through centrifuge testing. So far, no ... -
Utilizing Fluorescence Microscopy for Quantifying Mobilization Rate of Aged Asphalt Binder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The asphalt paving industry has been increasing the use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). There is a concern about the percentage of aged asphalt binder in the RAP that can actually be blended into the virgin binder and ... -
Effect of Plant Aggregates on Mechanical Properties of Earth Bricks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A building material is mainly characterized by its mechanical performance, which provides proof of its quality. However, the measurement of the compressive or flexural strength of an earth-based material with plant aggregates, ... -
Alkali-Activated Phosphorous Slag Performance under Different Curing Conditions: Compressive Strength, Hydration Products, and Microstructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In this paper, the impact of curing parameters such as precuring time, curing time, and temperature on compressive strength of mortar with phosphorous-slag cement activated with two different compound activators including ... -
Volume Change Behavior of Gypseous Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The susceptible characteristics of gypseous soil with variations in water content pose several engineering problems due to volume change behavior. A series of oedometer tests have been performed to understand the swell ... -
FRP-Needles as Discrete Reinforcement in Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents a new type of discrete reinforcing element for concrete produced from either waste or new pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials. These elements, referred to as FRP-Needles, are ... -
State of Knowledge for Cantabro Testing of Dense Graded Asphalt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper uses information collected over several years to determine where the Cantabro test usefully characterizes dense graded asphalt (DGA). The Cantabro mass loss (CML) procedure is simple, expedient, and has been ... -
Steady-State Chloride Diffusion Coefficient and Chloride Migration Coefficient of Cracks in Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Prediction of chloride ingress is very important for the durability of reinforced concrete structures in chloride-laden environments, especially for concrete with cracks. It is expected that the chloride diffusion coefficient ... -
Simplified Mathematical Model for Concrete Carbonation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A simplified mathematical model for concrete carbonation has been developed and compared with data from accelerated and real exposures. A chamber for an accelerated carbonation test has been built, and the results derived ... -
Three-Dimensional Micromechanical Complex-Modulus Prediction of Asphalt Concrete Considering the Aggregate Interlocking Effect
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The complex modulus (E*) is a fundamental material property extensively used for characterizing the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete. In recent years, numerous micromechanics-based models have been proposed for ... -
Performance of Novel Chemical Grout in Treating Sands
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)A new chemical grouting formed by sodium silicate–boric acid mixtures was introduced. Initially, suitable sodium silicate and boric acid contents in the grout mixtures were studied. Gel time, initial viscosity, and syneresis ... -
