Experimental Evaluation of Engineering Properties of GFRP Screw Anchors for Anchoring Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Steel screw anchors (SSAs) have been widely used in geotechnical engineering practice because they are simple in structure and easy to design and construct. The main disadvantage of SSAs is that they rust quickly and are ... -
Laboratory Characterization of Cement–Lateritic Gravel for Use in Base Construction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)To highlight the influence of cement addition on laboratory characterization of lateritic gravel and the feasibility of cement–lateritic gravel for use in base construction, relatively comprehensive laboratory experiments ... -
Optimization of Hot-Mix Asphalt Surface Course Mix Design for Fatigue Resistance: High-Friction Aggregate and PG Plus
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The sensitivity of the fatigue resistance of surface hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes is evaluated for three primary design variables. Aggregate type, binder type, and binder content as well as their interaction have been ... -
Fatigue Performance of Rubberized Stone Matrix Asphalt by a Simplified Viscoelastic Continuum Damage Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The study investigated the fatigue performance of rubberized stone matrix asphalt (SMA) in the dry process and compared its fatigue characterization with SMAs with other typical binders. Five SMA mixtures were used with ... -
Evaluation of Fatigue Cracking in Asphalt Mixtures Based on Surface Energy
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Fatigue cracking in an asphalt mixture is a process whereby microcracks in the asphalt–aggregate interface propagate into extensive interconnected cracks under repeated loads. The fatigue performance of asphalt is influenced ... -
Effect of Molecular Weight of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizer on Its Dispersion, Adsorption, and Hydration of a Cementitious System
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The aim of this study was to link the molecular weight (MW) of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) with the performance of cementitious system for the purpose of developing new products; PCE synthesized by copolymerization ... -
Experimental Investigation Concrete Using Magnesium Phosphate Cement, Fly Ash, and Rape Stalk
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents an investigation on a new material composed of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC), fly ash, and rape stalk. The main goal is to evaluate the viability of using this new material as an insulation material ... -
Experimental Study of Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate Influencing Properties of Magnesium Phosphate Cement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A magnesia-phosphate cement (MPC) paste based on magnesia and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4 or PDP) was prepared with the additions of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K2HPO4 or DHP) and borax as set-retarders. The ... -
Influence of Supplementary Cementitious Materials on Shrinkage, Creep, and Durability of High-Performance Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Use of high performance concrete (HPC) with locally available supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) has been increasing the world over. The difficulties associated with different indigenous cementitious materials ... -
Shape Memory Alloy Cables for Structural Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have attracted a great deal of attention as a smart material that can be used in various civil engineering applications. In contrast to the use of SMAs in the biomedical, mechanical, and aerospace ... -
Strain-Controlled Cyclic Simple Shear Tests on Sand with Radial Strain Measurements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Strain-controlled cyclic simple-shear tests were performed on silica sand with radial strain measurements. The specimens were tested under a constant K0 condition and subjected to cyclic loading and postcyclic monotonic ... -
Influence of Cement on Rheology and Stability of Rosin Emulsified Anionic Bitumen Emulsion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Ordinary portland cement (OPC) has been extensively used in cold recycling asphalt and cold-mix asphalt as an additive in order to improve the early age performances of these mixtures. The main purpose of its application ... -
Inorganic–Organic Hybrid of Lunar Soil Simulant and Polyethylene
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Inorganic–organic hybrid (IOH) lunar cements are processed by using a lunar soil simulant and polyethylene (PE). As the inorganic simulant grains are strongly held together by the PE binder, the IOH may be utilized as an ... -
Experimental Study on Contact Erosion Failure in Pavement Embankment with Dispersive Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Soft subgrades are not strong enough to provide the required degree of compaction for a pavement embankment’s foundation. Therefore, it is required to treat the subgrade soil or construct a working platform on top of the ... -
Characterization of Segregated Grout Promoting Corrosion of Posttensioning Tendons
