Mechanical Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites Subjected to Elevated Temperatures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents the results of an extensive test program on the residual mechanical properties of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) exposed to elevated temperatures up to 800°C. ECC cube specimens were heated ... -
Effect of Temperature on the Basic Creep of High-Performance Concretes Heated between 20 and 80°C
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This research concerns the uniaxial compressive basic creep of high-performance concretes (HPC) in the temperature interval 20–80°C. A basic creep experimental program was performed on HPC envisioned for future storage ... -
Material Properties of Large-Size Tire Derived Aggregate for Civil Engineering Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Tire derived aggregate (TDA) is a recycled fill material produced by cutting scrap tires into pieces ranging in size from 12 to 305 mm. For the last two decades, TDA has been successfully used in various projects such as ... -
Effect of Different Inorganic Nanoparticles on Physical and Ultraviolet Aging Properties of Bitumen
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The research reported in this paper evaluates a novel bitumen modification through the use of different inorganic nanoparticles, such as nanozinc oxide, nanosilica, and nanotitanium dioxide. In order to improve the dispersion ... -

Effects of Superplasticizer Types and Mixing Methods of Nanoparticles on Compressive Strengths of Cement Pastes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents the effects of five different types of superplasticizers on workability and compressive strengths of cement pastes containing nanosilica (NS) and nanocalcium carbonate (NC) particles each at 2% by weight ... -
Corrosion Durability of Reinforcing Steel in Cracked High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper reports test results on the corrosion durability of reinforcing steel in three series of precracked beams of ordinary mortar; a high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (HPFRCC) containing ... -
Zero Shear Viscosity of Bitumen-Filler Mastics of Warm-Mix Binders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Warm asphalt has been gaining popularity in recent years around the world due to many reasons, including its energy saving and environmental benefits. Some of the warm-mix additives lower the viscosity of the binder at low ... -
Bitumen Coating versus Plastic Sheeting for Reducing Negative Skin Friction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1995)The plastic sheeting approach for negative skin friction reduction in end-bent piles behind proprietary mechanically stabilized earth walls was investigated along with the conventional bitumen coating method. A number of ... -

Use of Reclaimed Asphalt in Porous Asphalt Mixtures: Laboratory and Field Evaluations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Maintenance and reconstruction of road pavements involve the production of huge amount of discarded material, such as reclaimed asphalt (RA), every year. As a consequence, issues related to RA stockpiles and disposals are ... -
Estimation of Resilient Modulus of Unbound Aggregates Using Performance-Related Base Course Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This study aims at developing an accurate and efficient methodology to estimate the resilient modulus of unbound aggregates. First, a new resilient modulus model is proposed to incorporate the moisture dependence of the ... -
Use of a Variable Rate Spray Bar to Minimize Wheel Path Bleeding for Asphalt-Rubber Chip Seal Applications
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Chip seals constructed in areas with a combination of high truck traffic volume and high climatic temperatures are susceptible bleeding in the wheel paths and raveling in nonwheel path areas. These failures arise from ... -
Geotechnical Properties of Fresh and Aged Basic Oxygen Furnace Steel Slag
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The steelmaking industry in the United States generates 9–16 million metric tons of steel slag every year. The excess steel slag ( -
Evaluation of Moisture Susceptibility Minimization Strategies for Warm-Mix Asphalt: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technologies aid in reducing mixing and compaction temperatures for asphalt concrete mixtures, allowing for savings in fuel consumption and extending haul distances and construction season. The reduced ... -
New Considerations in Predicting Mitigation of Alkali-Silica Reaction Based on Fly Ash Chemistry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of high CaO and/or high-alkali ( -
Effect of Particle Size of Residual Rice-Husk Ash in Consumption of Ca(OH)2
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Some researchers suggest the use of residual rice-husk ash (RHA) finely divided as a mineral addition to cement, despite the reduced content of amorphous silica compared to RHA produced by controlled burning. This article ... -
Comparative Study of the Effect of Basalt Fiber on Dynamic Damage Characteristics of Ceramics Cement–Based Porous Material
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Cementitious materials, ceramic aggregates, and fiber are used as basic materials; ceramics cement–based porous material (CCPM) and basalt fiber-reinforced ceramics cement–based porous material (BFRCCPM) are prepared on ... -
Long‐Term Strength Development of Pavement Concretes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1994)Development of pavement concrete compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength as a function of time is discussed. Eighteen sets of post‐1985 exerimental data from academic and industrial sources ... -
