Performance of Multiaxial Paving Interlayer–Reinforced Asphalt Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Paving interlayers have been used in asphalt concrete (AC) overlays for a variety of benefits. An earlier study showed that different paving interlayers improved mixture performance, while the multiaxial interlayer provided ... -
Behavior of Expansive Soil Treated with Steel Slag, Rice Husk Ash, and Lime
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the stabilization of expansive soil (C) with steel slag (SS), rice husk ash (RHA), and quick lime (L). The geotechnical properties, shearing strength characteristics, and dynamic properties of stabilized ... -
Resilient Moduli of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Aggregate Subbase Blends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper investigates the resilient moduli of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and virgin aggregate blends obtained from the subbase of a segment of Route 165 in Rhode Island, U.S. The materials included RAP and virgin ... -
Combined Effect of Water Reducer–Retarder and Variable Chloride-Based Accelerator Dosage on Rapid Repair Concrete Mixtures for Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)On-site addition of accelerator to rapid repair concrete mixtures can result in accidental overdose. Since these mixtures are designed to contain large accelerator dosages, an overdose will produce concrete with extremely ... -
Determining Optimum Sulfur Content as Alternative Binder Additive in Asphaltic Concrete Pavements
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Although bitumen, the binder most commonly used in asphaltic concrete pavements, constitutes only 3 to 5% of the total mixture, it has a significant impact on the total cost of the pavement. Because of this cost factor, ... -
Experimental Characterization of an Earth Eco-Efficient Plastering Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Earthen plastering mortars are becoming recognized as highly eco-efficient. The assessment of their technical properties needs to be standardized, but only a German standard exists for the moment. An extended experimental ... -
Sorption and Photocatalytic Degradation of Trichlorfon by Foam Concrete Blended with Nitrogen-Doped Titanium Dioxide
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Foam concrete incorporated with nitrogen-doped -
Cyclic and Postcyclic Triaxial Testing of Ballast and Subballast
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Ballast and subballast are two layers of noncohesive, granular materials with different grain sizes filled in the track substructure to bear traffic loadings from train passages. The performance and sustainability of a ... -
Mechanical Properties of Gravel Deposits Evaluated by Nonconventional Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Gravel deposits are materials that contain large particles. The mechanical behavior of such materials is conventionally examined using large-scale tests such as large-scale triaxial and in situ shear tests. However, the ... -
Stabilization of Demolition Materials for Pavement Base/Subbase Applications Using Fly Ash and Slag Geopolymers: Laboratory Investigation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The use of recycled construction and demolition (C&D) materials in unbound and cement stabilized pavement base/subbase applications has generated growing interest in recent years. C&D materials consisting of crushed brick ... -
New Conceptual Model for Filler Stiffening Effect on Asphalt Mastic of Microsurfacing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This research focused on the stiffening effect of the filler on the asphalt mastic of microsurfacing. One challenge that researchers are faced with in the field of bituminous materials is the interaction between the filler ... -
Experimental Study of Effect of Fly Ash on Self-Compacting Rammed Earth Construction Stabilized with Cement-Based Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)As an environmentally friendly construction technique, modern rammed earth generally stabilized with portland cement has attracted growing interest recently. In this study, cement-based composites (CSCN) consisting of ... -
Field Investigation of Mechanic Properties of Recycled CDW for Asphalt Pavement Layers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Construction and Demolition Wastes (CDW) have been reused in many engineering works. This paper focuses their use in asphalt pavements by monitoring a real road with different types of field tests over eight years. The ... -
Geometrical and Material Characterization of Quenched and Self-Tempered Steel Reinforcement Bars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Quenched and self-tempered (QST) steel reinforcement bars (rebars) are manufactured by Thermex or Tempcore processes. Characterization studies of QST rebars are mostly limited to reveal the hardened outer layer and some ... -
Internally Cured Concrete for Use in Concrete Pavement Using Accelerated Pavement Testing and Finite-Element Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Three full-size instrumented test slabs were constructed and tested by a heavy vehicle simulator (HVS) to evaluate the structural behaviors of internally cured concrete (ICC) for pavement use in Florida conditions. Three ... -
Assesment of Pozzolanic Performance of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash
