Mitigation of Early-Age Cracking of Concrete Based on a New Gel-Type Superabsorbent Polymer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Shrinkage cracking of concrete at an early age has notable and adverse effects on the durability and long-term performance of the material because it damages surface integrity or undermines overall uniformity of concrete. ... -
Evolution of the Microstructure of Warm Mix Asphalt Binders with Aging in an Accelerated Weathering Tester
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This study investigated the microstructural evolution of two binders, Pen 60/70 and PG 76-22, modified with two warm mix asphalt (WMA) additives, Advera (PQ Corporation, Malvern, Pennsylvania) and Sasobit (Sasol Wax, ... -
Construction Products with Sugarcane Bagasse Ash Binder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is an industrial by-product generated in large quantities from sugar industries employing the cogeneration process. It is commonly disposed of in landfills. The use of cogeneration plants, and ... -
Lessons Learned from the Development of Cementitious Grouts for Deep Borehole Disposal Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The performance of grouts made using oilwell cement is markedly different above 90°C than at lower temperatures, and the rapidity with which grouts thicken can cause failures in well cementing. One grouting application in ... -
Influence of Fly Ash and Its Partial Replacement by Slag on the Leaching Behavior of Blended Cement Pastes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)An accelerated leaching experiment, using 6M NH4Cl solution, on specimens of pure cement paste, binary cement paste with different fly ash contents (20, 30, and 50%), and ternary cement paste with the replacement of 10, ... -
Bond Behavior of Recycled Concrete: Analysis and Prediction of Bond Stress–Slip Curve
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper studies the bond stress–slip curve of recycled concretes and the influence of recycled coarse aggregate, which leads to the determination of bond behavior at serviceability. In order to perform this analysis, a ... -
Effects of Sulfuric Acid on Durability Characteristics of CFRP Composite Sheets
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This paper presents the chemical, physical, and mechanical characteristics of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets subjected to sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Test coupons are submerged in a 5% H2SO4 solution ... -
Prediction of Dam Concrete Compressive and Splitting Tensile Strength Based on Wet-Screened Concrete Test Results
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The mechanical property characterization of dam concrete is a challenging task mainly due to the use of large aggregate sizes. The properties of dam concrete are often evaluated from wet-screened concrete tests using ... -
Effect of Powdered Recycled Tire on Sulfate Resistance of Cemented Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) attack is a major problem in geotechnical engineering projects, as exposure to sulfate can affect soil integrity. Lightweight recycled materials such as used vehicle tires can be used to improve ... -
Influence of Metakaolin and Curing Conditions on Service Life of Reinforced Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)This investigation focuses on studying the effect of using metakaolin (MK) and/or different curing conditions on service life of reinforced concrete exposed to chloride-induced corrosion. Three main stages of service life ... -
Ultrasonic Evaluation of Acoustoelastic Parameters in Aluminum
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Aluminum has become a structural material widely used not only in mechanical and aerospace engineering, but also, more recently, in civil engineering. Because of its structural properties—such as strength, lightness, ... -
Aging Characteristics of Warm-Mix Asphalt Binders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) has gained lot of interest among researchers and highway engineers in recent years because of the environmental and financial benefits associated with lower production temperatures. However, there ... -
