Experimental Study on Contact Erosion Failure in Pavement Embankment with Dispersive Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Soft subgrades are not strong enough to provide the required degree of compaction for a pavement embankment’s foundation. Therefore, it is required to treat the subgrade soil or construct a working platform on top of the ... -
Mechanisms on the Salt–Frost Scaling of Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)In this paper, the effects of NaCl concentration on saturation in concrete and ice-formation pressure and volume expansion of solutions are investigated; also, mechanisms of concrete salt-frost scaling are analyzed. Results ... -
Analytical Model for Square Root Increase of Surface Chloride Concentration and Decrease of Chloride Diffusivity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)An analytical model of chloride diffusion in concrete structures is derived mathematically for a condition with a square-root increase of surface chloride concentration and a decrease of chloride diffusivity in the initial ... -
Galvanic Current Influencing Interface Deterioration of CFRP Bonded to a Steel Substrate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents an experimental program investigating the effect of galvanic current on the physical and mechanical characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets bonded to a steel substrate. ... -
Experimental Study of Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate Influencing Properties of Magnesium Phosphate Cement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A magnesia-phosphate cement (MPC) paste based on magnesia and potassium dihydrogen phosphate ( -
Durability of the Bond between CFRP Plates and Concrete Exposed to Harsh Environments
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Strengthening and retrofitting structural members using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials has gained wide acceptance in the civil engineering community because of their superior mechanical properties, light ... -
Carbonation in Concrete Infrastructure in the Context of Global Climate Change: Model Refinement and Representative Concentration Pathway Scenario Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A number of recent studies have identified and begun to quantify increased susceptibility of the infrastructure to climate change–induced carbonation of reinforced concrete. In this paper, the results of a study are presented ... -
Compressive Stress-Strain Behavior of HSFRC Reinforced with Basalt Fibers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is a well-recognized construction material because of its vast application in civil engineering structures. The use of steel fibers in FRC is well established in terms of reliable modeling ... -
Effects of DC Stray Current on Concrete Permeability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In the present study, the effects of direct current (DC) stray current on concrete structures were studied with the focus on the effect of concrete rather than corrosion of steel bars. Concrete samples were prepared with ... -
Tension Lap Splices Strengthened with Ultrahigh-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents the results of an experimental program undertaken for evaluating the effectiveness of ultrahigh performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) for strengthening deficient tension lap splices. A total ... -
Mechanical Properties of Polyester Coated Fabric Subjected to Biaxial Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The paper is focused on the comparison between uniaxial and biaxial laboratory test results for polyester coated fabric. A short literature review concerning coated woven fabrics with emphasis on biaxial tensile tests is ... -
Shear-Reinforcing Effect of Continuous Fiber Rope on Reinforced Concrete Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Continuous fiber rope (CF rope) made of aramid fiber or vinylon fiber has been developed to apply for the reinforcement of concrete members and structures. It is characterized by a light weight, high tensile strength, and ... -
Optimal Mixture Design of Mix-Wasted Tile Aggregates for Reducing Pavement Surface Temperature
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The heat generated from dark-colored asphalt pavement contributes to the rise in surface temperature and results in the formation of an environmental problem known as -
Mechanical Properties of Southern Pine Cross-Laminated Timber
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a novel wood building material suitable for floor, roof, and wall assemblies in low- and mid-rise construction as an alternative to concrete and steel. CLTs are considered to provide good ... -
