Alkali-Activated Ground-Granulated Blast Furnace Slag for Stabilization of Marine Soft Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper investigated the stabilization efficacy of alkali-activated ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) for a marine soft clay, compared with that of portland cement (PC). The influence of activators, including NaOH, -
Assessing Failure Envelopes of Soil–Fly Ash–Lime Blends
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This study aims to establish the influence of curing time and the amount of lime and porosity in the assessment of the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope of fly ash–lime-treated soils based on unconfined compressive strength ( -
Prediction of Fracture Behavior of 20MnCr5 and S275JR Steel Based on Numerical Crack Driving Force Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Two types of steel, 20MnCr5 and S275JR, are compared in this paper based on numerical prediction of their fracture behavior. The comparison was made using the numerically determined -
Permanent Strain of Unsaturated Unbound Granular Materials from Construction and Demolition Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This paper presents a new equation for estimating the permanent strain of different combinations of recycled clay masonry and recycled concrete aggregate using the concept of matric suction. The aim of this paper was to ... -
Mechanical Behavior of B500c Steel with an Aluminum Layer Coating in a Marine Environment

Concrete Surface Topography as a Function of Freeze-Thaw Exposure and Abrasive Blasting
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)This study investigated the topography of plain concrete during freeze-thaw exposure and following abrasive blasting. The independent variables included the water-cementitious material ratio ( -
Investigation and Prediction Model for the Dynamic Modulus of Asphalt Emulsion Cold Recycled Mixtures
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The stiffness characteristics of four types of asphalt emulsion cold recycled mixtures (AECRMs) were evaluated using the simple performance test (SPT). Factors influencing the dynamic modulus and the applicability of the ... -
Using Calcium Carbonate Whisker in Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composites
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The multiscale nature and multiscale cracking behavior of cementitious composite determine its micro-, meso-, and macroperformance. A new kind of fiber hybridization containing steel fiber, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber, ... -
Comparing Effects of Biobinder with Other Asphalt Modifiers on Low-Temperature Characteristics of Asphalt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)This paper examines effects of a new biobased modifier, “biobinder,” on low-temperature properties of asphalt binder and compares the results with those of conventional modifiers: crumb rubber, Gilsonite, styrene-butadiene-styrene ... -
Enhancement in Chloride Diffusivity due to Flexural Damage in Reinforced Concrete Beams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)A multiphysics formulation for chloride diffusion in an RC beam with stress-induced damage quantifying the enhancement in chloride diffusivity due to damage is presented. An experimental investigation involving measurement ... -
