Laboratory Study on Strength Development in Cemented Paste Backfills
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Cemented paste backfills (CPBs) are widely used in backfilling underground mine voids. They are fine-grained mine tailings with significant clay content, with a small dosage of a general purpose cement (GPC) or pozzolanic ... -
Influence of Activation Methods on Strength and Chloride Resistance of Concrete Using Calcium Carbide Residue–Fly Ash Mixture as a New Binder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This research aimed to investigate the compressive strength and chloride resistance of concrete made with 30% of calcium carbide residue (CCR) and 70% fly ash (FA) as a binder without portland cement. There were three ... -
Cracking Resistance Evaluation of Mixtures with High Percentages of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Incorporation of high quantities of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new asphalt pavement construction is a contemporary approach for promoting sustainable roadway systems. Many highway agencies, however, have reported ... -
Effect of the Interfacial Zone on the Tensile-Damage Behavior of an Asphalt Mixture Containing MSWI Bottom Ash Aggregates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Output of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) can be classified as several different types of residues, of which bottom ash is a primary by-product. Utilization possibilities other than landfilling the incineration ... -
Test Methods for the Determination of Interlayer Properties in Laminated Glass
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Current standards introduce different test methods to be used for the determination of the dynamic properties of polymers. Some of these have been applied in the last years for the evaluation of the thermoviscoelastic ... -
Impact Resistance and Mechanical Properties of Self-Consolidating Rubberized Concrete Reinforced with Steel Fibers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This study evaluates the impact resistance and mechanical properties of a number of developed self-consolidating rubberized concrete (SCRC) mixtures reinforced with steel fibers (SFs). In this research, SFs were used to ... -
Advanced Characteristics of Cement-Treated Materials with respect to Strength Performance and Damage Evolution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Cement-stabilized base (CSB), a cement-stabilized material for road pavement construction activities, generally has better essential properties than an unbound granular material, a commonly used material for the pavement ... -
Characterization of Triaxial Stress State Linear Viscoelastic Behavior of Asphalt Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The present study proposed a new method for characterizing linear viscoelastic (LVE) properties of asphalt concrete (AC) under triaxial loading conditions. The presented method adopted the relaxation spectrum model derived ... -
Production of Recycled Plastic Aggregates and Its Utilization in Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Plastic represents an environmental issue, as only 7% of it is recycled. The plastic remaining is either burned, disposed of in an uncontrolled manner, or landfilled. Thus, to reduce the quantity of plastic that is disposed ... -
Sulfate Resistance in OPC and SRPC Containing Calcined Paper Sludge Waste: Ettringite or Thaumasite Formation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The Le Chatelier–Anstett test was used to study the sulfate resistance of cement pastes containing calcined paper sludge waste (MC). MC was blended with two types of portland cement (PC): P1 with and P2 without C3A (ordinary ... -
Uniaxial Compression Behavior of Ultra-High Performance Concrete with Hybrid Steel Fiber
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study investigated the effects of hybrid steel fiber of different sizes (6 and 13 mm) on the uniaxial compression performance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The failure pattern, stress–strain relationship, ... -
Time-Dependent and Stress-Dependent Chloride Diffusivity of Concrete Subjected to Sustained Compressive Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper studies the chloride diffusivity of concrete subjected to long-term exposure in a simulated marine environment with sustained compressive loading for up to 224 days. A series of concrete prisms were loaded ... -
