Usability of Raw Rice Husk Instead of Polypropylene Fibers in High-Strength Concrete under High Temperature
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this study, the usability of raw rice husk (RRH) instead of polypropylene fibers (PP) in high-strength concrete was investigated to prevent spalling, improve mechanical, physical, and thermophysical properties of concrete ... -
Behavior of Gilsonite-Modified Hot Mix Asphalt by Wet and Dry Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In tropical countries, roads built with asphalt layers must be made with bituminous mixtures containing asphalt that is reasonably stiff to increase resistance against permanent deformations, i.e., rutting. When the ... -
Evaluation of the Optimum Mixing Ratio of a Sand-Tire Chips Mixture for Geoengineering Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the evaluation of the optimum mixing ratio of sand-tire chips (STC) mixtures based on void ratio and shear-strength properties. Locally available sand and tire chips of 20×10 mm size are adopted. ... -
Quantitative Energy-Dispersive X-Ray Microanalysis of Chlorine in Cement Paste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) is a microanalysis technique for material characterization that can provide accurate quantification of elemental composition while maintaining high spatial resolution. EDS ... -
Concrete Durability Improvement in a Sulfate Environment Using Bacteria
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Using carbonate-producing bacteria is a promising novel technique to improvement of concrete characteristics. Durability of concrete in harsh environments such as sulfate exposure has been constantly an important issue. ... -
Stabilization of Quarry Fines Using a Polymeric Additive and Portland Cement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The effect of treating limestone quarry fines (LQFs) with a commercially available liquid polymeric soil stabilizer, and a combination of the polymeric soil stabilizer and a small quantity (4%) of portland cement was ... -
Influence of Nanolimestone on the Hydration, Mechanical Strength, and Autogenous Shrinkage of Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The influence of nanolimestone/nanoCaCo3 (NC) on the properties of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) cured at standard and heat conditions was experimentally investigated. The NC was used at ratios of 1, 2, and 3% as ... -
Effect of Tricalcium Aluminate on Durability Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete Incorporating Rice Husk Ash and Metakaolin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this work, the effects of rice husk ash and metakaolin additions on magnesium sulfate and corrosion resistance properties of self-compacting concrete are reported. Comparisons are made to unblended self-compacting ... -
Flexural Behavior of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Rubberized Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This research focused on the study of the flexural load-deflection behavior of steel fiber reinforced rubberized concrete (SFRRC) up to the first-crack load. Specifically, this study used an experimental method to examine ... -
Influence of Anisotropy on Pavement Responses Using Adaptive Sparse Polynomial Chaos Expansion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Modeling the spatial variability that exists in pavement systems can be conveniently represented by means of random fields; in this study, a probabilistic analysis that considers the spatial variability, including the ... -
Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Limits to Meet Surface Frictional Requirements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is widely used to construct new asphalt pavement layers, but its use is often limited in surface courses because of concerns about frictional performance, especially in areas where ... -
Effects of Acid Solution on the Mechanical Behavior of Sandstone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper is devoted to the experimental study of chemical degradation effects on the mechanical behavior of sandstone. The sandstone samples were immersed in acid solutions with different pH values to undergo chemical ... -
Time-Dependent Behavior of Self-Consolidating Concrete Loaded at Early Age: Influence of Chemical Admixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The introduction and use of chemical admixtures like polycarboxylate-based high-range water reducers (HRWR) and commercially ternary blended cements has allowed the successful production of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) ... -
Analysis of Nanoscale Microstructures in Asphalts of Different Aging States
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Asphalt surface features revealed in the tapping-mode atomic force microscope (AFM) have been extensively studied. Most of the existing studies focus on the so-called bee-shaped surface feature, believed to be made of ... -
Characterization of Lightly Stabilized Granular Base Materials Using Monotonic and Cyclic Load Flexural Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterized by their tensile properties and this paper examines the use of monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing to determine the tensile characteristics ... -
Experimental Study of the Core-Drilling Method for Evaluating In Situ Stresses in Concrete Structures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The core-drilling method (CDM) is a stress-relief technique used to determine in situ stresses in concrete. A small hole is drilled into the concrete of a structure and the resulting displacements are measured and then ... -
Thermal Performance Modeling of Geopolymer Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Geopolymers are used for several applications due to their sustainability, low density, low cost, excellent thermal properties, and fire resistance. Geopolymer concrete (GC) may possess superior fire resistance compared ... -
