Volume Change Behavior of Expansive Soil Stabilized with Coir Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Coir waste, as, its name indicates, is a waste by product of the coir manufacturing industry. Past records show that for every ton of fiber extracted, about two tons of coir waste is produced. Thus handling of coir waste ... -
Sulfate Resistance of Clay-Portland Cement and Clay High-Calcium Fly Ash Geopolymer
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper examines the short-term resistance ability of two different cementitious systems prepared using silty clay as a major component against 5 wt% sodium sulfate and 5 wt% magnesium sulfate solutions. The two ... -
Maturity-Based Field Strength Predictions of Sustainable Concrete Using High-Volume Fly Ash as Supplementary Cementitious Material
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The use of fly ash in concrete has received significant attention during recent years, owing to environmental concerns regarding its disposal and to its potential use as a supplementary cementitious material owing to its ... -
Flowability and Density Characteristics of Controlled Low-Strength Material Using Native High-Plasticity Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In pipeline construction projects when high-plasticity clayey soils are encountered in the excavated trench material, they are typically landfilled and better quality materials are imported from outside quarry sources for ... -
Microstructure of a Type G Oil Well Cement-Nanosilica Blend
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Motivated by the need to improve oil well integrity for potential carbon capture and storage through -
Adhesion of Air Lime–Based Mortars to Old Tiles: Moisture and Open Porosity Influence in Tile/Mortar Interfaces
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The use of tiles in Portuguese façade coatings began in the nineteenth century with industrialized production of tiles. Nowadays, many nineteenth century façades are degraded and in urgent need of maintenance. New bonding ... -
Effects of Aggregate Properties and Concrete Rheology on Stability Robustness of Self-Consolidating Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Compared with ordinary concrete, the segregation resistance of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) are more sensitive to small variations of mix proportions such as dosage of superplasticizer, and the size, volume, and ... -
Effects of Deicing Salts on the Scaling Resistance of Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The scaling resistance of concrete with strength grades of 30 MPa (C30) and 50 MPa (C50) subjected to different types (A and B) and concentrations (3, 5, and 20%) of deicing salt solution were studied using an accelerated ... -
Evaluation of Particle Size Distribution of Coal Gangue through Fractal Method in Dongkuang Mine, Heshan, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The particle size distribution of coal gangue was obtained from a sieving experiment and the representative grading calculated using the statistical values of coarse grain content. A fractal method was proposed and fractal ... -
Friction Influence between Particles in the Behavior of Flow of Lime-Rendering Mortars
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The behavior and properties of rendering mortars, in the fresh state, are influenced primarily by particle grading, amount of water employed, and the shape and surface texture of particles. Production processes and application ... -
Optimal Mixing Ratios of Silica and Hybrid Resin with Epoxy Resin for Concrete Floor Surface Covering
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Epoxy resins, which are currently used as floor-finishing materials in underground parking lots, have many disadvantages, such as peeling, decreased bond strength under wet conditions, low impact resistance, poor film ... -
Creep-Recovery Behavior of Asphalt Binders Modified with SBS and PPA
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of longer creep-recovery times on the percent recovery ( -
Evaluation of the Rheological Properties and Activation Energy of Virgin and Recovered Asphalt Binder Blends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In this study, the rheological properties and activation energy (AE) of unaged and aged asphalts blended with different percentages of binder, recovered from three reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) sources, were investigated. ... -
