Capillary Flow Characteristics of an Autogenic and Autonomic Healing Agent for Self-Healing Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Capillary flow through discrete cracks is the main mechanism by which healing agents embedded in cementitious matrices travel to zones of damage to afford the host matrix a healing ability. However, the nature of the ... -
Comparison of Constant-Force Increment and Constant-Rate Loading Protocols in Biaxial Tests of Coated Fabrics
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Biaxial tension testing is an increasingly accepted tool to understand the mechanical behavior of architectural coated fabric membrane materials. However, different loading protocols in biaxial tests result in diverse ... -
Evaluation of the Blending Effectiveness of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Binder
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)There is a recent trend of using a higher content of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt pavement construction. When evaluating the properties of mixed RAP and virgin binder and selecting a base binder to be mixed ... -

Evaluation of Two-Dimensional Gray-Scale Images for Microtexture Analysis of Aggregate Surface
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A powerful texture feature extraction algorithm based on transform-based analysis of two-dimensional (2D) gray-scale images was employed in the aggregate image measurement system (AIMS) to quantitatively describe aggregate ... -
Relationship between the Compressive Strength of Concrete Masonry and the Compressive Strength of Concrete Masonry Units
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The results of axial compression tests on masonry prisms can be the basis for determining the design capacity of masonry elements since several building codes permit the compressive strength of the masonry to be that of ... -
Assessment of Pozzolanicity of Clay Bricks Fired at Different Temperatures for Use in Repair Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Crushed bricks used in air lime mortars must show pozzolanic activity to obtain hydraulic products, and peak firing temperature is one of the main parameters for pozzolanicity of the fired clay bricks apart from clay type. ... -
Factorial Design Method for Designing Ternary Composite Cements to Mitigate ASR Expansion
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) have been successfully employed in binary or ternary cement blends to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR). The determination of composition of binary or ternary composite cement ... -
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 ... -
Investigating Compressive and Cleavage Strengths of an Indian Bamboo Species
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Depleting timber resources has generated interest in bamboo, a traditional sustainable building material of the tropics. However, dearth of strength data has been a major hindrance in its engineered application. The present ... -
