(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Low yield point (LYP) steel is a kind of excellent material used in seismic structures. To get its constitutive model under cyclic loading, 20 specimens made of LYP steel SLY100 were tested under different loading systems. ... -
Development of Pavement-Surface Temperature Predictive Models: Parametric Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Rapid urbanization has been causing a change in the urban climate resulting in urban heat islands (UHIs). In the area of transportation pavement infrastructure and its effect on UHI, the impact of these changes can be ... -
Functional Fatigue of Polycrystalline Cu-Al-Mn Superelastic Alloy Bars under Cyclic Tension
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper studies the response of Cu-Al-Mn superelastic alloy (SEA) bars to repeated tensile load at room temperature. The test specimens are three polycrystalline and one single crystal SEA bars of 11 mm diameter ... -
Upcycling of Waste Materials: Green Binder Prepared with Pure Coal Fly Ash
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Extensive studies have focused on the beneficial use of coal fly ashes (CFAs) as a partial replacement for cement in concretes or mortars, in the effort of reducing the environmental footprint and embodied energy of concrete ... -
Use of Infrared Thermography to Detect Thermal Segregation in Asphalt Overlay and Reflective Cracking Potential
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The objectives of this study were to assess whether temperature differentials measured using infrared thermography (IRT) occur in an overlay built on top of discontinuities such as joints and cracks and to study the ... -
Influence of Cyclic Frost Deterioration on Water Sorptivity of Microcracked Cementitious Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are relatively new construction materials characterized by strain-hardening behavior under excessive tensile loading. Unlike conventional concrete materials, which generally show ... -
Optimization of Recycled Asphalt Pavement in Cold Emulsified Mixtures by Mechanistic Characterization
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)As road infrastructure development has witnessed a steep increase across the globe, it is adversely affecting the environment attributable to unabated extraction and use of stone aggregates, a fast depleting natural resource. ... -
Comparative Experimental Study of Mortars Incorporating Pumice Powder or Fly Ash
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The continuous increasing demand and limited availability of artificial pozzolans has led to a search for alternative supplementary cementitious materials such as natural pozzolans. This study was performed to compare the ... -
Galvanic Current Influencing Interface Deterioration of CFRP Bonded to a Steel Substrate
