Significance of pH Variance in Predicting Chemical Reaction in Hot Mix Asphalt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is a combination of siliceous, calcareous, or intermediate aggregate materials from selected sources, blended with formulated asphalt binders from various asphalt binder producers. These components ... -
Establishing the Fiber Bridging Law by an Inverse Analysis Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A method for establishing the relationship between stress and crack face opening for steel fiber–reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams under three-point loading was proposed using inverse analysis. The relationships were set ... -
Reflectance Spectra of Thermochromic Asphalt Binder: Characterization and Optical Mixing Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Asphalt pavement constructed with traditional asphalt binder, which features high solar absorbance, is characterized by high surface temperatures during summer. This causes undesirable performance degradation (i.e., due ... -
Behavior of Brick–Mortar Interfaces in FRP-Strengthened Masonry Assemblages under Normal Loading and Shear Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Determination of shear strength of brick–mortar bed joint is critical to overcome the sliding-shear or joint-shear failure in masonry. In the recent past, researchers have attempted to enhance the shear strength and ... -
Recycling of Polyethylene into Strong and Tough Earth-Based Composite Building Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Polyethylene (PE) waste often piles up in the environment for up to 30 to 50 years, without complete degradation. This paper describes how PE waste can be used as a reinforcement in laterite bricks for sustainable building ... -
Evaluation of Moisture Susceptibility Minimization Strategies for Warm-Mix Asphalt: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technologies aid in reducing mixing and compaction temperatures for asphalt concrete mixtures, allowing for savings in fuel consumption and extending haul distances and construction season. The reduced ... -
Compaction Quality Control of Pavement Layers Using LWD
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The in situ density of compacted layers obtained from sand-cone test is commonly used to assess the quality of compaction of pavement layers. This test is tedious, time consuming, and sometimes not feasible to perform in ... -
Effects of WMA Technologies on Asphalt Binder Blending
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Because of environmental and economical benefits, the paving industry has made attempts to incorporate recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) or recycled asphalt shingle (RAS) into warm mix asphalt (WMA). However, the low ... -
Influence of Pore Structure on Mechanical Behavior of Concrete under High Strain Rates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Properties of a porous material such as concrete are strongly dependent on its pore structure features. This study deals with developing an understanding of the material structure-compressive response relationships in ... -
Investigating Fatigue Behavior of Nanoclay and Nano Hydrated Lime Modified Bitumen Using LAS Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this study, the effects of two nanomaterials—nanoclay and nano hydrated lime—on the fatigue properties of bitumen were investigated. Nano hydrated lime was produced in a laboratory using a planetary ball mill. The milling ... -
Simple and Rational Methodology for the Formulation of Self-Compacting Concrete Mixes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The increasing use of self-compacting concrete (SCC) in the construction industry should be assured by the development of mix designs adequate to improve their fresh/hardened state properties and their economy. This paper ... -
Utilization of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavements in Indian Low-Volume Roads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in the construction industry is gaining an advantage over conventional materials in terms of sustainable credits. However, the amount of production of RAP and its utilization ... -
Effects of Superplasticizer Types and Mixing Methods of Nanoparticles on Compressive Strengths of Cement Pastes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the effects of five different types of superplasticizers on workability and compressive strengths of cement pastes containing nanosilica (NS) and nanocalcium carbonate (NC) particles each at 2% by weight ... -
