Comparative Study of Water-Blasting Equipment for Airfield Surface Decontamination
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Runway rubber removal is a maintenance function employed to ensure safe landing areas for aviation operations. Rubber deposits accumulate on runway areas where aircraft tires touchdown and braking occurs. This tire-rubber ... -
Performance Properties of Alternative Polymerized Asphalt Mixtures Containing Various Antistripping Additives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The objective of this research project was to conduct a laboratory investigation of alternative polymerized asphalt mixtures in terms of moisture susceptibility, permanent deformation, dynamic modulus, and flow number of ... -
Interpretation of Compression Behavior of Structured and Remolded Marine Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Although extensive research has been conducted on the strength and stiffness of stabilised soils, fewer attempts have been made on the compression behavior of artificially structured and remolded soils. In this study, ... -
Repeatability and Reliability of New Air and Water Permeability Tests for Assessing the Durability of High-Performance Concretes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper reports on the accuracy of new test methods developed to measure the air and water permeability of high-performance concretes (HPCs). Five representative HPC and one normal concrete (NC) mixtures were tested to ... -
Structural Performance of Alkali-Activated Soil Ash versus Soil Cement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Alkaline activation of fly ash (FA) was used to improve the mechanical performance of a silty sand, considering this new material as a replacement for soil-cement applications, namely, bases and subbases, for transportation ... -
Determination of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Asphalt Concrete with Random Aggregate Microstructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper intends to develop and validate an innovative method to determine the effective thermal conductivity of asphalt concrete considering thermal properties of individual components and volumetric compositions. ... -
Comparison of Laboratory Testing Using SmartRock and Discrete Element Modeling of Ballast Particle Movement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)Track performance is largely dependent on ballast performance. Unfavorable ballast conditions cause track geometry roughness and can contribute to increased rates of damage and deterioration to the rail, tie, and fastening ... -
Finite-Element Analysis of Highway Embankment Made from Tire-Derived Aggregate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Tire-derived aggregate (TDA) has been used in many civil engineering applications. Despite its successful use in the past, the amount of experimental research available on TDA applications is not sufficient to provide data ... -
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 ... -
Experimental Evaluation of Engineering Properties of GFRP Screw Anchors for Anchoring Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Steel screw anchors (SSAs) have been widely used in geotechnical engineering practice because they are simple in structure and easy to design and construct. The main disadvantage of SSAs is that they rust quickly and are ... -
Effect of Weathering on Rubberized Porous European Mixture
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This project investigated the effect of weathering (UV light, oxidative, and water) on the performance of rubberized porous European mix (PEM) by laboratory tests and field pavement investigation. Three rubberized PEM mixes ... -
Predictive Models for Storage Modulus and Loss Modulus of Asphalt Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Complex modulus of an asphalt mixture constitutes two components: -
Performance of Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete Produced with Coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper evaluates the replacement of natural aggregate coarse fraction for recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in hot mix asphalt (HMA) concrete production, an area in which studies are recent and scarce. Crushed stone ... -
Investigation of Isosorbide Distillation Bottoms as a Bio-Based Warm-Mix Additive
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Biorefineries are increasing in number and size and include products based on food, energy, and chemicals. Depending on size and targeted products, biorefineries produce distillation bottoms with surfactant characteristics ... -
Characterizing Stress–Strain Relationships of Asphalt Treated Base
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In a flexible pavement, the base course is an essential component in that it supports the surface course and distributes traffic loads to the subbase and subgrade. Asphalt treatment is used on granular base course material ... -
Effect of Parallel Plate Gap Height on Repeatability in DSR Measurements of Crumb-Rubber Modified Binders
