Guayule Plant Extracts as Recycling Agents in Hot Mix Asphalt with High Reclaimed Binder Content
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Increased usage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and reclaimed asphalt roofing shingles (RAS) in hot mix asphalt (HMA) has increased the need for recycling agents intended to return the age-hardened RAP/RAS binder ... -
Fracture of Recycled Aggregate Concrete under High Loading Rates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Using renewed materials in the construction industry is very important for sustainable development. Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is one of the renewed materials. RAC uses demolished concrete as aggregate to make ... -
Multiscale Study of Sodium Sulfate Soaking Durability of Low Plastic Clay Stabilized by Reactive Magnesia-Activated Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Portland cement (PC) has been used extensively in ground improvement. However, environmental effects caused by PC production and durability of PC-stabilized soils when exposed to sulfate attack are of global concern. ... -
Analysis of Crack Microstructure, Self-Healing Products, and Degree of Self-Healing in Engineered Cementitious Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this paper, self-healed cracks of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy, and self-healing products of ECC are analyzed by X-ray diffraction technology. ... -
Nanoindentation and Atomic Force Microscopy Investigations of Asphalt Binder and Mastic
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Nanoindentation techniques were implemented to calculate and interpret linear viscoelastic properties of asphalt binder and mastic through low-load spheroconical (blunt) nanoindentation. Experiments on three rolling thin-film ... -
Experimental Study of Combined Effects of Fibers and Nanosilica on Mechanical Properties of Cemented Sand
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In this study, a series of laboratory tests were performed to investigate the effects of nanosilica and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber on the mechanical properties and durability of cemented sand. The cement contents were ... -
Performance of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Columns under the Action of Eccentric Loads
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents an experimental investigation on the performance of RC columns with corroded reinforcing steel bars. The corrosion of steel bars was induced by using a combined electrochemical process and wet-dry cycles. ... -
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) ... -
Protection against Weathering Using Micronized Copper Quat and Heat Treatment Methods on Wood for Construction of Mountain Houses
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)During this study, the protective effects of heat treatment and micronized copper quat (MCQ) impregnation on wooden surfaces in outdoor conditions were observed. Within the scope of the study, the 15-month weathering test ... -
Chloride Diffusion Analysis of Concrete Members Considering Depth-Dependent Diffusion Coefficients and Effect of Reinforcement Presence
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on chloride diffusion in plain concretes and reinforced concretes. Concretes were exposed to chloride environment simulated by a self-designed tidal circulation ... -
Analysis of Linear Viscoelastic Response Function Model for Asphalt Binders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Asphalt binder properties play a significant role in the performance of asphalt pavement, but it is impossible to test the properties of asphalt binders under every condition. However, a suitable model that can be established ... -
Effect of Freeze—Thaw Cycles on Mechanical Behavior of Lime-Stabilized Soil
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Lime stabilization of clay soils is becoming, if not already, one of the most used construction techniques for road embankments and for subbase stabilization. In warm countries, lime stabilization is used without any ... -
Behavior of Gilsonite-Modified Hot Mix Asphalt by Wet and Dry Processes
