Multiscale Study of Sodium Sulfate Soaking Durability of Low Plastic Clay Stabilized by Reactive Magnesia-Activated Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Portland cement (PC) has been used extensively in ground improvement. However, environmental effects caused by PC production and durability of PC-stabilized soils when exposed to sulfate attack are of global concern. ... -
Evaluation of Two-Dimensional Gray-Scale Images for Microtexture Analysis of Aggregate Surface
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A powerful texture feature extraction algorithm based on transform-based analysis of two-dimensional (2D) gray-scale images was employed in the aggregate image measurement system (AIMS) to quantitatively describe aggregate ... -
Internally Cured Concrete for Use in Concrete Pavement Using Accelerated Pavement Testing and Finite-Element Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Three full-size instrumented test slabs were constructed and tested by a heavy vehicle simulator (HVS) to evaluate the structural behaviors of internally cured concrete (ICC) for pavement use in Florida conditions. Three ... -
Impact of High Temperature on Residual Properties of Concrete with Steel Slag Aggregate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study evaluates how elevated temperatures can affect the properties of concrete prepared with steel slag as a coarse aggregate. Four slag-based concrete mixtures were studied, using different types of cement pastes ... -
Fracture of Recycled Aggregate Concrete under High Loading Rates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Using renewed materials in the construction industry is very important for sustainable development. Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is one of the renewed materials. RAC uses demolished concrete as aggregate to make ... -
Simulation of Permanent Deformation in High-Modulus Asphalt Pavement Using the Bailey-Norton Creep Law
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The objective of this research is to evaluate the permanent deformation of high-modulus asphalt concrete (HMAC) pavement in terms of the viscoelastic theory. Based on the Bailey-Norton creep law, parameters of HMAC were ... -
Resilient Moduli of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Aggregate Subbase Blends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper investigates the resilient moduli of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and virgin aggregate blends obtained from the subbase of a segment of Route 165 in Rhode Island, U.S. The materials included RAP and virgin ... -
Use of Reclaimed Geomembranes for Modification of Mechanical Performance of Bituminous Binders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The use of modified binders plays a very important role in the construction of more durable pavements. However, the addition of modifiers to the binders could considerably increase their cost, making these materials less ... -
Effect of Freeze—Thaw Cycles on Mechanical Behavior of Lime-Stabilized Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Lime stabilization of clay soils is becoming, if not already, one of the most used construction techniques for road embankments and for subbase stabilization. In warm countries, lime stabilization is used without any ... -
Drained Shear Strength of Over-Consolidated Compacted Soil-Cement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The use of cement as an additive to natural soil has been practiced for a long time in engineering projects. Chemical bonds generated as the result of cement hydration and pozzolanic reactions have been responsible for the ... -
Interpretation of Compression Behavior of Structured and Remolded Marine Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Although extensive research has been conducted on the strength and stiffness of stabilised soils, fewer attempts have been made on the compression behavior of artificially structured and remolded soils. In this study, ... -
Laboratory and Construction Evaluation of Warm-Mix Asphalt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Warm mix asphalt (WMA) describes various technologies that allow asphalt mixtures to be produced at lower temperatures as compared with hot mix asphalt (HMA). WMA technologies also offer improvements in workability, cost, ... -
Sorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Trichlorfon by Foam Concrete Blended with Nitrogen-Doped Titanium Dioxide
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Foam concrete incorporated with nitrogen-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2/FC) was fabricated, characterized, and tested for the sorption and degradation of trichlorfon. The removal performance of trichlorfon under visible-light irradiation ... -
Restrained Shrinkage Cracking and Dry Shrinkage of Rapid-Set Prepackaged Cementitious Materials
