Quantifying the Effects of Chip Seal Volumetrics on the Occurrence of Pavement Flushing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The reported study was undertaken to investigate the micromechanical interactions that occur between sprayed seal (chip seal) layer materials in order to examine their relationship to the initiation of flushing. In particular, ... -
Statistical Modeling of Carbonation in Concrete Incorporating Recycled Aggregates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Durability and recycling are two major concerns in the construction industry. Concrete carbonation may impair reinforced concrete durability as it favors the onset of reinforcement corrosion. The use of recycled aggregates, ... -
Experimental Characterization of Monotonic and Cyclic Loading Responses of CLT Panel-To-Foundation Angle Bracket Connections
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Cross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood plate product suitable for the construction of shear walls in low-rise and medium-rise residential and commercial buildings. CLT shear walls are attached to foundations ... -
Comparative Thermal and Mechanical Performance of Geopolymers derived from Metakaolin and Fly Ash
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper presents comparative thermal and mechanical performance of geopolymers derived from metakaolin (MK), fly ash (FA), and their combinations. Bending and compression tests, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning ... -
Sulphate Resistance of Geopolymer Concrete Prepared from Blended Waste Fuel Ash
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of geopolymer concrete prepared using blended ash of pulverized fuel ash and palm oil fuel ash from agroindustrial waste along with alkaline activators when exposed ... -
Characterization of Lightly Stabilized Granular Base Materials Using Monotonic and Cyclic Load Flexural Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterized by their tensile properties and this paper examines the use of monotonic and cyclic load flexural testing to determine the tensile characteristics ... -
Asphalt Binders Blended with a High Percentage of Biobinders: Aging Mechanism Using FTIR and Rheology
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The objective of this study is to characterize the rheological properties and aging mechanism of asphalt binders blended with high percentages of biobinders using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The petroleum ... -
Reducing Cement Contents of Paving Blocks by Using Mineral Waste and by-Product Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In the production of conventional paving blocks, it is usual to use a minimum of -
Capturing a Layer Response during the Curing of Stabilized Earthwork Using a Multiple Sensor Lightweight Deflectometer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The lightweight deflectometer (LWD) is a portable device that measures surface deflections and applied force, from which dynamic stiffness and elastic modulus can be estimated. The inclusion of radial offset sensors with ... -
Experimental Study of Bond Strength between Titanium Bar and Lime-Based Mortar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In the last decades, a number of technical solutions for the improvement of structural connections using new materials between masonry wall panels have been the subject of several studies. In this context, the increasing ... -
Newly Developed Adhesive Strength Test for Measuring the Strength of Sealant between Joints of Concrete Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A new adhesive strength test (AST) was developed to determine the adhesive strength of joint sealant. A series of sealant thicknesses, displacement rates, and curing times was tested to determine proper AST testing parameters ... -
Impact of the Properties and Reactivity of Rice Husk Ash on Lime Mortar Properties
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper studies the effect of rice husk ash (RHA) in the properties of hydrated lime (calcium lime-CL90s) mortars with a view to improve their properties and make them more sustainable. The variation in mortar properties ... -
Long-Term Performance of Rigid Plastic Foam Building Insulation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This article focuses on the characteristics of rigid plastic foam building insulation (RPFBI), one of several types of insulation available for new and retrofit applications. Most RPFBI currently in service incorporates a ... -
Cracking Behavior of Posttensioning Grout with Various Strand-to-Duct Area Ratios
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This study investigates the effect of the strand-to-duct area ratio on the shrinkage cracking behavior of posttensioning grout. The free shrinkage behavior of grout was evaluated using various duct diameters. Test results ... -
